Recently, my old CPU, an AthlonXP 2100 fried on me, and I'm looking into buying a new one. I have a GA-7DX+ motherboard, and the specs indicate support for Athlon/Duron processors up to 233 FSB. It's a socket A board.
I'm looking at upgrading my processor to the AMD Sempron 2800, which is also socket A, but has a 333 FSB. Would flashing the BIOS let me use the processor in this system board? If not, what would happen if I were just to slap in the processor anyways?
