Asus P4S333-VM Socket-478 and Pentium4

[chrisbear]

Hi. Can I install 3.2GHz Intel P4 800MHz 512K Socket-478 on Asus P4S333-VM 400MHz Socket-478 motherboard? Will this work? What about the BIOS? Please help me because I can`t find an answer in whole Internet. I am trying to play Far Cry2 and my comp is slow. I have Pentium4 1.9GHz, 2GB RAM, Geforce 512MB and the game is slow on all low settings. Please help me.Thanks. Chris - I forget to add (400MHz of motherboard)

i take it you don't have the manual for the board?

do you know which P4 you have? is it a prescott or northwood core?

ok i've just found some specs on the board

its only AGP 4x so no matter what CPU or graphics card you put in it you'll never have a good gaming rig, especially not one that'll play far cry 2

my advice would be to buy a new mobo, cpu, ram and graphics card combo

No as well, FSB support is upto 533Mhz.

Have a look at Aria, on the superspecials you can build a new PC for £250.
