Hi,
I'm thinking of upgrading my current celeron 336 to E2140 on a crappy motherboard. Here's the link to it :
From the link above. According to the third user review, it stated " ..DDR2 RAM will ONLY run at 200FSB. CPU multiplier is locked.PC 4200 RAM will not run at 533..."
Does it mean the cpu will not be fully utilise to its full potential? And that i'd better off getting a new board to pair with the E2140?

Why are you going by customer comments rather than looking at the specs or checking the ECS website? Customer #3 is clueless.
The E2140 runs at 800MHz FSB (200MHz). For a 1:1 CPU/DRAM ratio, you should either run DDR400, DDR2-400, or higher rated RAM (such as your DDR2-667) underclocked to DDR2-400 speed (200MHz).
