Ok, so I've found the CPU of my dreams (INTEL PENTIUM 4 3.0GHz Socket 775 800MHz 1MB) but I'm pretty sure my MOBO will not take to it as I have, at the moment I have an MSI 645 Combo, not only does this have a 533Mhz FSB but I dont think the CPU will fit, how do I know if that CPU will fit the Motherboard I want, I'm looking at a GIGABYTE GA-8I915P Duo Intel 915P LGA 775 motherboard. Can any one tell me if its compatiable, or even how to tell, thanks. Kind Regards,
Dan
