If I put a 800mhz cpu in a board that is designed to handle 400/533 will it run at 533? or not work at all?
Intel Pentium 4 NORTHWOOD 2.8 GHz 800 FSB Skt 478 SL6Z5....in a msi 651M-L ver. 2
thanks

It will if you can drop the clock multiplier from 2x to 1.5x which would depend on the board and chip. That would also give the CPU a clock speed of 799mhz.

"That would also give the CPU a clock speed of 799mhz" so the chip wouldn't be running at 2.8g then... correct??
seems like a waste!!!

I misunderstood your question. On a second reading, no, it will not work.
