Are mobos backwards compatable?
........in plain terms.......will a 400FSB motherboard run a 533FSB CPU comfortably without crashing the darn thing?
Thanks, Gary

The cpu should run "underclocked" at 200 FSB in that situation.

In general, ths is a bad idea. I would wait until you can buy a motherboard that supports the processor.

Greetings,
I'm not aware of the 533mhz FSB Celerons. Are you sure it's not 400mhz FSB?
Regards,
Elad.
