P3 800EB
I am just wanting to help to know that wether my P3 800 EB cpu which
supports 133fsb would work in a mother board that only supports 100fsb. I am guessing it should be back compatible but i am not sure if it is. Any comments would be appreciated. thanx. |

It would run as a P3 600. Slower should definitely not be a problem.

It would only act as a 600. An 800eb is multiplier locked at 6x. JT |

You'll need to do some research into whether the target motherboard supports Coppermine processors or not. Many but not all motherboards supportive of 100MHz FSB did, but needed a BIOS update. Providing the board is able to post and supports voltage under 1.8V (another big "IF") then the CPU will run at 6 X 100MHz = 600MHz as other posters have mentioned. Specifics of the motherboard (make, model, revison) might help. Dave |
