I currently have a motherboard that runs at 66mhz fsb with a celeron 733mhz. What i want to know is this, can i just put a p3 1gig in and it will work or will i need to change some jumpers to make it work? would the p3 run at 66mhz fsb? sorry if this sounds silly but i dont know about motherboard speeds. Thanks in advance for any help Rachel

Well, if u knew something you should try giving more specs on the motherboard. I can gess anything...might be jumperless or not, or if the voltage needed is supported, etc.... Yes your p3 will run at 66 mhz if the motherboard supports it (again mobo specs needed), but that is useless, you are slowing down your computer by underclocking.
