I think it will be fine but I figured it doesn't hurt to ask. The processor FSB is 1333MHz and the Mother Board says it supports FSB 533/800/1066MHz will this work if I use this Processor??
Well I'm trying to build a super cheap system for a friend who has an old Dell 1100 and wants a faster box. Im trying to keep the budget under $300 US I need a CPU, Mother Board and ram here is what im looking at so far
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 Conroe 2.33GHz (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115030) $169.99
BIOSTAR P4M890-M7 TE LGA 775 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138090)$44.99
CORSAIR ValueSelect 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145527) $38.99
Bring the total to $253.97 So I could realistically another $50 if needed, buy my bud is broke so Im trying to save him as much as I can
Now incase anyone notices I went with the 533 ram instead of the 667 because I read a review and the guy had made an excellent point. He said it would not POST with the 667 so when he went to the Biostar site (http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-us/mb/content.php?S_ID=290) is says it's rated for 533 but on newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138090) it says it can take the 667. What do you guys think of that?? Also as usual any suggestions would be helpful Thanks guys
