Operating System: Windows XP - Professional PC Experience: Some Experience |  FSB compatibility Hi, I was just wondering if a processor has a higher FSB than the motherboard, will it work? (e.g. Processor FSB - 1300 Motherboard FSB - 1066) I was just wondering because a friend asked me because he is thinking of building a PC, but he was unsure about compatibility. |

Operating System: Windows Vista - Home Premium PC Experience: Elite PC Guru | It depends - normally you would have to OC the MOBO and some MOBO's are frankly rubbish at OC'ing. Have a look at the MOBO website as there may be a BIOS update to support the higher FSB
