I have been shopping around for a new mobo for my pc. I have a intel celeron D 2.5ghz with 133.3mhz FSB. On the net I can only find mobos that have fsb of 1066/800mhz, Can these mobos work with my prossesor?
 
1066 is actually a FSB of 133, and 800 is actually a FSB of 100. Both of which are DDR, meaning its esentially twice as fast (266 and 200, respectively). Now I don't totally understand this part, but there are 4 busses or something running at those speeds, giving you your 1066 or 800 FSB.
I have yet to see a board that cant support 133 FSB (that isn't 5 years old), and if it can support 133, it can support 100.
As for your question. I would bet my paycheck that the boards you are looking at support the FSB you have. I don't know if they will support your specific CPU, as some boards have restrictions based on the CPU core.
 
Well.. you could try check the homepage, and look for the board there.
most bands have a table online, wich shows you what prosessor is compartible and wich one isn :)

No. 1066 is 266 and 800 is 200. Intel uses a 'quad-pumped' bus, that is to say there are 4 transfers per cycle, there is only 1 bus and it's not a DDR bus it is a QDR. You have the right idea (it's nice to see people who know it's not a FSB of 1066 or 800 or even 400)
