Welcome to the site spidy!

Here is a link to your processor with the exact specs: http://processorfind...spx?sSpec=SL8ZH

You will want to find a motherboard that you can either manually drop the FSB to 533mhz or find a motherboard that will run at the speed right now. I do not see any motherboards from Intel that have a FSB at 533mhz as a standard speed, however I did find a motherboard that you may want to look into:

http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813138079

I checked the manuals of the Intel boards and it doesn't look like you can manually set the FSB lower. If you look around, some boards do allow you to set the speed of the FSB either via the BIOS or with jumpers.

Hope this helps,

My top two manufactures that I personally have dealt with are:
EVGA
Logitech (They only make great accessories and have great product support)

However, I know many people that have gone through these companies:
ASUS - I do own a motherboard from these people. Works great like any other board.
Foxconn
Gigabyte

All of those manufactures make motherboards that are just as good, if not better.

However, I must say, EVGA is my most favorite company out of these. They offer 24x7 support and are extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone.
