Compatibility Question

JLV2k5 · 12-31-2007, 05:42 AM

Do mobo and processors have to run at the same FSB speed in order to work together. This question may seem obvious but i wanted to have a direct answer. Thanks for the help.

No, they can be different speeds. If you have two different speeds though, the lower one will be used (higher can go lower, but lower cannot go higher).
