I’m looking at upgrading my processor from a 2.4GHz dual core to a 2.5GHz quad core. Only problem is is that my motherboard only supports front side bus speeds up to 1066MHz, and the processor is 1333MHz. Will the cpu work with the motherboard? also, can I increase the motherboards speed by overclocking so my CPU can operate at the required speed, and if so, how can i do this?
my motherboard is a BIOSTAR TForceP965 LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard. The newegg link is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138039.
the cpu im looking at is Intel? Core? 2 Quad Processor Q9300 OEM. The frys link is http://shop2.frys.com/product/5513390?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG.
thanks for any and all help in advance.
