Motherboard/chip question

Post by iamodd »

I have an Athlon AMD XP 2600+ running at 1.9 GHz on an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe board. The 333 MHz FSB speed is killing me at times.

What I want to know is, I know I will have to buy a new motherbaord eventually, but will my chip be able to take advantage of the new bus speed?

I would think so, but one of my buddies said it wouldn't help any, and both of us are pretty knowledgable about computers.

the mother board says it can go to 400MHz FSB...but it overheated when I tried...
(not that that's much better than 333MHz anyway)
