I have a 400 FSB mobo. I want to upgrade my CPU from 1.7 to 2.4ghz.
My understanding is that if I get anthing greater than a 400, like a 533 FSB, the CPU will still only run at 400. So my guess is that is not worth it, and stick to a 400 FSB cpu? Is that right?
Also, do I need to get the heatsink and fan, too? Or will the old heatsink and fan do?
I have a old off the shelf dell. I have been told that I can not overclock because my bios is not sophisticated enough. Does that make sense? Thanks for any help.
