It's for my motherboards sake!
Okay, what if i put a 1333 fsb CPU onto a 1066 fsb motherboard (P5VD2 VM-SE).
Are there any consequences? :confused:
 
It will work fine as long as the CPU is compatible with the motherboard. The motherboard will adjust the FSB automatically
 
OK ruuga, this is obviously an extension of your other thread here; https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic126107.html

You should probably have asked this question in the original thread. But since you asked here I'll answer it here.

Generally it's better to install a CPU in a motherboard that won't require a BIOS update. Given the choice I'll always take a plug and play install.

I suggested the E8400. That really would be the best choice of those 3, if it were going into a 1333Mhz FSB board. Into a 1066FSB board, meh, not so much.

This is the latest BIOS update available for your board that mentions new CPU compatibilities added;

P5VD2-VM SE Release BIOS 0506
1. Support new CPUs. Please refer to our website at: http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx

Note that it's dated Jan 28, 2008 The E7400 would NOT be PnP for you, if it worked at all.

In researching your board, I ran into the situation where they asked me for which OS I had. I didn't had none, so I told them 32bit XP.

It's actually time for another motherboard, if you want to run the latest CPUs. Here's a new MATX Gigabyte P31 for 63 bucks; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128356 Runs memory @1066 runs FSB @1333Mhz
 
Oh, sorry about that. hehe :p
Thanks for the info though Capt'n, i really appreciated it.
I'll download the BIOS update right away.
