how can you find processors with those clock speed? i mean like everything i do a search i always find 800 and can not find any 555 for LG 775 motherboards.
 
The fsb speeds are actually 533, 667, 800, and 1066mhz. Searching with the incorrect information won't get you very far. The speed of each cpu sold at a vendor is usually provided right there in the product information based on the models they have instock. Intel like AMD should have reference charts where you choose a model and read the details there.
 
so sorry i was mistaken about the Fsp rates and thank you for your help i will try look for them on the intel website.

if i have two 3.2 ghz dual core processors. one is 800 and one is 1066. would the 1066 run faster than the 800?

thank you


i just checked the intel website. their processor spec finder does not provide much informations but thanks!!

For AMD they have a few pages where you first select the socket type and then even a specific model for information there when comparing models. The fsb speed will depend on the memory as well as the cpu itself. You would need 1066mhz memory otherwise both would run at the 800 by default.

The one page to make comparisons however is there to be found. At the link here you simply highlight one model and click on the compare button at the bottom to bring up a separate information page for it. http://compare.intel.com/pcc/default.aspx?familyID=1
 
Well hopefully you choose the right board before the cpu in order to know just what will run on it. For a 1066mhz fsb you will need a board that will run the faster memory. Don't confuse that with HyperTransport or Hyperthreading there however.
 
actually i was looking at the 3.2ghz dual cores on ebay. and non of them are above 800. i saw most of the processors on neweggs with higher FSB have lower clock speed.


is it possible to start a motherboard without it connected to a case ( means no power button to press )

thanks!!
 
At this time newegg like some other vendors are low on inventory typical until they have a summer blowout sale in order to restock for the fall. The problem with buying from EBay is the no return poilicy there. If you get a bad cpu you'll most likely be stuck with it?

Generally when testing a board outside the case lying on a non conductive surface you simply take something small and metal like the tip of a small flat head screwdriver or paper clip to press it against the two small pins for the power button. You'll see at least small block of pins on the board where the wires for power, reset, power led, HD activity led, and for a board speaker are also located. Most boards will have a different color for each set of pins found there.

You jump there for a few seconds only until you see and hear everything start up. A second block of pins is often seen depending on make and model for additional usb ports as well as front or top of case audio jacks. The board's manual is the place to look for the diagram for power connections. That will show which pins are for power. But you really want it in a case for any long term use since there you will have fans foor cooling as well as being electrically isolated and grounded properly.
