So the general question is:
Can legacy Intel Xeon processors that are built to operate at a specific "Processor Base Frequency" be successfully setup to run in motherboards that have their max clock speeds lower than the "Processor Base Frequency".
Specifically, I'm interested in installing two "Intel Pentium III Xeon Processor 700 MHz, 2M Cache, 100 MHz FSB" in a Supermicro S2DGR which can only go up to 600 MHz (might be 550 Mhz).
Would this even work?
Any insight would be appreciated.
