Installing a new CPU with a different FSB?

Question

I am installing a new processor in my computer that has a faster FSB than the previous one. I thought i could just throw it in and it would work but its not working at all. I am going from a Pentium D 930 to a Core 2 Duo E7300. I am wondering if I need to change some setting on the motherboard. I have an ASUS P5LD2 motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131538)

My motherboard says that it works with both 1066 and 800 FSB speeds.

Answer 1

Is not that simple, FSB just meant it can run at that speed, CPU support is another matter, your board only supports 65nm while the E7300 is 45nm so thats a no no, and nothing yuo can do to upgrade the board, so new board it is for you

Answer 2

listen up! fsb is just a "train" with info that run to the processor from the rest of the devices , of course the bigger number the better it is! BUT duo core processors needs a different motherboard that has different "structure" for the duo core processor.. so you need to invest some money  bc it is a good one!

Answer 3

You cannot just look at what FSB it supports. You're motherboard does not support the Core 2 series processors; it only supports "Pentium D / Pentium 4 HT / Celeron D."
