Need help, I have a MSI 845PE Max3 mainboard

And I'm thinking of buying a Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz 800 MHz thingie (think the HT thing is rather nice :p) but I dont know if this mainboard supports a CPU that fast.

Someone help please :D

well it says on the page it supports 2.8ghz and higher... so it prolly can... although tbh, if you gonna get this fast cpu, then get a motherboard with a decent chipset, the 845PE is ok... but not great, you really should go for a minimum 865PE, or for top of the line, the 875P chipset. Such as the ones on
this and this page. It may cost you a bit more, but will be worth it.

For a comparison of the chipsets check out intels site

Been thinking abit about the price etc, and i think that i'll settle with a 2.8ghz, money dont hang on the trees after all :) And there's no DF anywhere near where i live, so cant farm any either :p
