Hi,
Does my motherboard fsb must exactly match my cpu's fsb?

For ex, a 1033 mhz mobo with an 800 mhz cpu, but being socket 775?

Thanks,
Brett

There is no "1033 mhz mobo", it's either 1066MHz or 1333MHz FSB.

Anyhow, if you have a motherboard that's capable of 1066MHz or 1333MHz FSB but a CPU that's designed to run at 800MHz FSB, the motherboard *should* detect the CPU bus & adjust itself accordingly.
