How to support 800MHz FSB for GA-8PE800

Download & Update BIOS
1) Download the latest BIOS
 2) Update the latest BIOS version by pressing "F8" key during BIOS setting
3) Adjust the CPU settings manually in BIOS settings
4) Supports only Northwood/Willamette CPU

However, if you want to upgrade to 800MHz FSB with a 533MHz CPU, you will have to manually overclock by adjusting BIOS settings
1) Enter BIOS settings by pressing "Del" key during system boot up.
2) Select Frequency / Voltage Control.
3) Adjust CPU external frequency to 200MHz.
2) Adjust frequency multiple to maintain CPU speed at the original setting.
