Hi, my main computer broke so I was trying to figure out what was causing it problems. I tested the RAM and it wasn't that, the PSU was good, the hard drive was fine, etc. So I wanted to move onto testing the processor: I have a q6600 processor, and my secondary computer has a socket 775 motherboard as well. However, the motherboards FSB is 800mhz, and the q6600 has a FSB of 1066. Is it alright to test the CPU in the motherboard?
(The motherboard is from a Dell 4700, it's a OM3918 motherboard made by Dell. The chipset (I dunno if this is important to the question) is Intel i915P/i915G.
Sorry for confusion, I was just looking at CPUZ, I think it's an 800mhz board because the CPU in it right now has a FSB of 800mhz, but I can't see where it explicetly says the motherboard has a FSB of 800mhz.
I hope this is enough information for people to help,
Thanks ahead of time,
