    440BX chipset FSB 133MHZ

    New to this board, if I am asking in the wrong place could somebody give me links to another site?
    I am currently using a Supermicro P6SBU motherboard with a PII 350MHZ processor with 100MHZ FSB. I have a PIII 1000 MHZ processor with 133 MHZ FSB that I would like to use in this motherboard, both are socket 1. Can I run a 133MHZ FSB processor in this board that uses the 440BX chipset and only supports 100 MHZ FSB? I am using windows 2000 and have the latest bios version.
    Can somebody help steer me in the right direction?

    The P6SBU supported up to 1GHz CPUs with the 100MHz bus speed, so if your BIOS is up-to-date, it is probable that you'd be able to run the 1GHz CPU at 750 MHz. Not all motherboard/CPU combinations like being under-clocked this way, but various Google references suggest it's worth trying.
