I saw this in an ongoing thread, and didn't want to jump in the middle, so here's the quote:
________________________
There are Coppermine 1GHz CPUs but if you have a 800 MHz you're good 2 go IMO.
You only need adapters if you are working with Socket 370 CPUs or Tualatin chips that have a different pinout (all of them).
440BX works ok at 133 Mhz, but the AGP cards don't work well or at all with the 90MHz AGP clock usually.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My own experience with a 440BX was terrible. I had trouble with every kind of video card and audio card that I tried in mine (P2/400). In spite of a lot of aspersions on the reputation of the Via MVP3 boards, the one that I had soldiered onward, quietly outlasting the P2/400 by about three years, and might still have been usable, but I let my nephew have it for whatever he might do with it.
Wouldn't the P2/400's FSB have been 100 MHz?
