I have a motherboard that supports the fsb of 66, 100, and 133mhz. On the motherboard website, it says that the fastest Celeron processor it can handle up to is 800mhz and it doesn't support Tualatin. So I'm wondering will I be able to buy a Celeron that is 900mhz with the fsb of 100 and make it work in my motherboard (Soyo 7VCA-E). I don't want to buy it then find out my mobo won't support it. I mean, the Celeron 900mhz isn't a Tualatin, so I don't know why the Soyo website says it can only support up to a Celeron 800mhz.

Well since they make the Celery 900 in FC-PGA and FC-PGA2 and the board supports PIII 933mhz FC-PGA, as long as you buy the FC-PGA version of the 900 Celery I can't see any reason it shouldn't work, and you have manual adjustments in the bios you should be able to set it up even if it won't auto-detect. I haven't used that board so it's still speculation but the board's specs should suit that 900 just fine.
