OK, I think this is going to be a silly question, but I'm genuinely confused. I want to buy a new XP2600 CPU for my KT3 Ultra. However, according to newegg, the Thoroughbred core they sell has a 333 bus, and my mobo's FSB only goes up to 220. (Actually, the online documentation says it supports 100 and 133 busses.) These must be completely different busses, right?
To confuse me further, the MSI webpage says that my mobo is compatible with the 2600 thoroughbred with a 133/266 FSB. But the only 2600 (throughbred) sold on newegg has a 333 FSB.
Also on MSI's website, it seems to indicate that the board isn't compatible with the Barton core, although the 2600 Barton isn't even listed.
Can someone help clear up this poor n00b's confusion?
