Pentium 3 processor question

[-RockMan-]

I just bought HP motherobard that has 66mhz-100mhz fsb if I buy a 733mhz Pentium 3 that has 133fsb will the motherboard drop the mhz down by 66mhz or 100mhz ? I'm going to buy a new processor in about 2 hours and I just needed this question answerd before I do anything.

p.s.
My old gateway finally died
thats why I am building a new PC.

HP motherboards dont give you the options to control fsb and odds are it will not run or will run at reduced speed. 133x5.5=733mhz so if the fsb drops to 100 then your looking at reducing your clock speed to 550mhz. I would just upgrade to something modern as prices are already low for something like a 2800+ Sempron or Celeron D.

Post something in the "Building General PC's" section and one of the members will build you a very cheap PC that will do the basics, like run Windows XP and do mild gaming.

yeah chances are it will run at 550mhz, there may be a BIOS flash for the board though.

Actually that motherboard has 100mhz FSB I want to upgrade the processor that comes with the board 500mhz to 800mhz.
I'm not a moron or anything like that I just wanted to know what would happen if I put 133mhz fsb processor on that board and see if the mobo would knock down the mhz a little or alot.

But I do want to find p3 800mhz for that mobo and the people on ebay that sell the slot 1 processor are charging way to **** much for s/h

If someone knows where I can find the processor I want thats at a affordable price of 20 dollars for the item and shipping please let me know.

WOW. looking at the same questing/diff user earlier. get a (hold, 100mhz fsb, guessing clock multiplier of 7.5....) go with a 1.3ghz p3, and u should get some good preformance out of that(round 1.0 ghz)

You sure it was the gateway that died or just the power supply? My current gateway I'm using had a psu which was making noise, so I replaced it before it could fail on me.

 

[bmxfreakrider]

uhh. wtf, where u get that from? nothing about a gateway or a powersupply in this thread, is there? guess i gotta read between the lines

 

[bmxfreakrider]

o. also is it just me, or do i need to talk to an admin. when i reply to a thread, i dont suscribe to it, so it dont tell me when someone replys to it.

@Drizo: (wtf are you talking about man ?) my cocker spaniel took out the power cord of my computer and knocked it out I tried to turn on my pc I tried three new power supply that each had either 300 watts or 400watts and I my pc never even tried turn on. I smelled the mobo to see if anything leaked or fried no smells at all. so apparently the six year old 433 celeron pc finally went to ****. luckily my other pc parts worked liked nothing happen at all.....

How in the world am I going to put p3 1.3ghz on a hp mobo that has 100mhz fsb.....? that mobo would probably reject it as soon as I power up the pc.
