R robina_80 Active Member Jul 3, 2008 #1 this may seem a dumb question, but if i get a motherboard with a FSB of 1600Mhz is it backward compatible with a cpu of a FSB of 1333Mhz EDIT: also if i get the higher FSB one will i get an advantage if i still use a cpu with 1333Mhz FSB Last edited: Jul 3, 2008
