Subject: Pentium 4 -- 400 or 533 FSB --- what determines it?

I need to replace my Dimension 4500 motherboard. Dimension 4500's were
sold with either 400 MHz and 533 MHz FSBs. The system ran with 533 MHz
FSB until a lightning strike. The CPU is okay and is for 533 FSB.

Does the motherboard have to be matched to 533 FSB?

Or is the FSB determined completely by the CPU?

Sounds like an opportunity to replace the entire machine. If the
lightening strike burned out the motherboard, who's to say the CPU,
memory, hard disk, etc. aren't fried too. Computers are cheap.
