P M 735 Dothan in T43/p board with 533 FSB

[Brad]

Does anyone know if this T42 series P M 735 Dothan will work in a newer T43p 533 FSB board?

Makes sense that it will. Just want to confirm.

Yes if you overclock it

Most motherboards will automatically downshift to 400MHz as signalled by the processor. I think this is how the T43 works but maybe someone who knows for sure can respond.

It will operate fine at 400mhz.

To overclock to 533 you have to pinmod.

Thanks for all your replies.

I didn't know T43s would take 400MHz Dothans. Will the ram downshift to 400Mhz as well?

IMO, you should take full advantage of the Sonoma chipset. An overclocked PM 735 can operate at 2.26GHz like a PM 780. The performance increase is at least 25% according to syedj

Here's a comprehensive guide if you want to perform it.

I had a Z60t runnning at that speed, it never give me any problems, sold it for $660.00 + shipping on ebay.

Ulrich - the RAM and the CPU are clocked independently by the chipset. But it still requires that the mobo supports both FSBs.
