I just noticed in your previous post that you wrote "MSI P7n Diamond V1.0".

If that means that you have BIOS version 1.0, i would recommend you to flash your bios to the latest one... http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=...1&prod_no=1372

Regarding the FSB... it will be difficult as doing that will mean that you will have to overclock the CPU by a nice amount and as far as i remember those processors were coming with a quadpumped 200FSB, 800MHZ and they were already very hot... by the speed you mentioned i guess it is a P4 (Cedar Mill core) 661, 65nm.

It will be a bit harder than normal to clock this thing... i think.
Hi Litri, once again thanks for the reply. I admitted I made a fundamental mistake for putting the P4 CPU on this high end board, I shouldn’t spent all my budget try to air conditioning the case and water cool the cpu. I will get myself a Q6600 when its price come down a bit, in Australia it is still in demand. By the way is it really not a good idea to install any 45nm chip in this board?
