Hi everybody!!!
My question is short and simple:

Is a AMD Athlon 2600+ (2.13GHz) 333MHz FSB compatible
with a MSI-6390 VER.30B 266MHz board?

I had a 2400+ 266MHz FSB before- no problem, but i broke it.

Nope. Sorry. (source)

The 2400+ isn't supposed to work either so my suggestion is if you really want to just try it. Worst that can happen is it just won't post.

I have a different Motherboard.
The 6390 VER.30B OEM HP Version.

The list you gave me says that the 2400+ model is not compatible, but i had it in my system before.

Im just curious:
Are 333FSB CPU backwards compatible with a 266board?
I understand, that it will probably run slower.

Sry for my english.

your English is fine. from what i'm reading the HP site says yours can use up to a 2600+ but MSI says different while Max Support is only 2200+. i would at least try a the 2400+.

overall yes. a Mobo will take a 333FSB based CPU but it'll just run at whatever max FSB the Mobo can take being 100/133 which is what yours puts out
