 |
|
Hello.
I've got one of these:
http://eu.shuttle.com/archive/en/av40.htm#specificatio
A Shuttle AV40 Mobo with a 1.8GHz Intel P4 processor.
In the manual, under CPU support, it says:
"Intel Pentium 4, 478 pin processors with 100MHz FSB".
A long time ago, I am sure mobo manuals used to tell you what speed the
board would go up to in terms of CPUs - i.e. 2.2GHz max, etc.
I cannot find anything like that - this is all the info it gives.
I have been looking around ebuyer, etc looking for newer socket 478
processors with a view to an upgrade but am wondering if I will be severly
limited by my board. If say I were to buy this:
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=58515
(a 3.2GHz CPU with 800FSB), what would happen?
I'm not sure I quite understand what FSB means in terms of
upgrade limitations or otherwise. I would appreciate some education on it.
On the first link I have put above, it says that it's been tested on a "P4
(Northwood 400MHz FSB) up to 2,4GHz with 400MHz FSB (100MHz
Quad-Datarate-Process)".
Does that mean that the 100FSB doesn't limit me?
Please help me to understand!
Thanks. |

Would this work OK on my Shuttle AV40 Motherboard without any problems? |

Ebuyer.com would tend to disagree, since it sells 3.4GHz socket 478
processors with 800MHz FSB.
Does your answer mean that the max a Shuttle AV40 will go to is 2.8GHz?
Thanks. |
