I have this http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...00066554#N1588 computer and this http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...#c00063244_doc motherboard my question is that if i were to buy a socket478 p4 with a 533mhz fsb and my motherboard turns out that it only supports 400mhz fsb (my celeron is 400mh fsb) would the p4 work or do i have to get a processor that is exactly 400mhz fsb. I hope that wasnt too confusing thanks for any help. __________________ My \"tite\" sysytem:Compaq SR1020NX Celeron 2.8GHz Cheap generic mobo(MSI) PNY Geforce fx5500 128 MB pci 512 MB pc2700 ddr ram compaq case with generic 250 watt psu http://www.userbars.com/galerie/imag...ron Maiden.jpg

That's what I think it would do. __________________ DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D AMD Athlon x2 4400+ 2GB (2x1GB) G.Skill DDR400 Extreme Series XFX nVidia Geforce 7600GT 256MB xXx Edition ASUS 16x Dual Layer DVD Writer and 16x DVD Reader Sony Silver 3.5\" Floppy Drive Western Digital Caviar 320GB 7200 RPM 8MB SATA Antec Super Lanboy Aluminium Case Enermax Whisper II 535W A computer building guide Cable sleeving guide
