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.

Okay, this is your big chance. Please send the replacement machine to:

I expect you'll be happiest sending a top-of-the-line model, but a
run-of-the-mill Dell would be fine with me.

If the
lightening strike burned out the motherboard, who's to say the CPU,
memory, hard disk, etc. aren't fried too.

Not you, I expect.

Computers are cheap.

And may you be laid to rest in a landfill.

Sorry, just trying to help. I wouldn't invest in that machine. When you
post to a newsgroup you'll get some opinions.

I'm more than happy to stop answering any questions you have.

You already did that. :-)
