Solve : question regarding FSB?

1.	Solve : question regarding FSB?
Answer» I a processor chip is a 800 fsb and a mb has a max of 533 fsb will the processor underclock?Better visit the motherboard manufacturer's website or find other documentation on exactly what PROCESSORS that motherboard will support.i did and the processor i have is supposedly supported, but...... I have a P4 Northwood 2.8 and the bios automatically ses it as a 1.866 ( 14x133) I can set it 166/33 and get 2.2 out of it but STILL the processor should be 2.8. Its a P4SGX-MX ASUS. Windows correctly sees it as a 2.8 running low, either a 1.8 or a 2.2 depending on what i have it set at ( funny thing is that 14x166 is 2324 and not a rounded 2.2 ) What the heck is GOING on here? I have the most recent BIOS. I was wondering if the FSB could be a factor here.I honestly don't know. I gather 166/33 is the highest setting in the BIOS. Is that right? And, you have no control over that multiplier. Is that right? yes, thats right. im completely STUMPED :-?
