P3 800EB

[Girish Verma]

I am just wanting to help to know that wether my P3 800 EB cpu which
supports 133fsb would work in a mother board that only supports 100fsb. I am
guessing it should be back compatible but i am not sure if it is. Any
comments would be appreciated. thanx.

It would run as a P3 600. Slower should definitely not be a problem.

It might work (there are also voltage considerations) but not as an 800. It
would only act as a 600. An 800eb is multiplier locked at 6x.

You'll need to do some research into whether the target motherboard
supports Coppermine processors or not. Many but not all motherboards
supportive of 100MHz FSB did, but needed a BIOS update. Providing
the board is able to post and supports voltage under 1.8V (another big
"IF") then the CPU will run at 6 X 100MHz = 600MHz as other posters
have mentioned.

Specifics of the motherboard (make, model, revison) might help.
