just ordered a epox 87ha+ motherboard and 2-256stick crucial ram. already have a 1200 t-bird. I noticed on pricewatch they list 200fsb and a 266 fsb chip. will my TB work in this board? I do not know which t-bird I have except it is a 1200 and I would remove my waterblock but I misplaced my artic silver.......please any info would be great!!
Thats easy set your motherboard to auto detect the multiplier and fsb. if its 12x100 then its a 200 if its 9x133 then its a 266.
The 8KHA+ supports either one anyway.

It doesn't really matter, just set it at 133, most chip will run fine at 133 anyway.

The CPU doesnt care how it gets to its speed, wether its by multiplyer or FSB, it just cares how many MHZ it ends up at. So it shouldnt matter.
