Hiya,
Higher bus speed I'd think would be better in this case so that data
can go between the various parts at the fastest speed possible.
Although because it is a frontend, the lower bus speed means lower heat.
But to answer your question... I think that it would be fine. Not
100% sure, but the multiplier is just "processor clock * FSB = CPU
speed", right? So a higher multiplier can make up for the lower FSB
in this case.
And if it melts... well, get some nice pictures. Video preferably.

Hello all,
Have come across a GA-6BXE Slot 1 motherboard from someone and a
Slot 1 P3 666MHz at 133MHz FSB from someone else, and I want to use
those 2 in a frontend. Have found that the Slot 1 motherboard only
does 66/100MHz FSB and will support a maximum of a P3 650MHz at
100MHz FSB. I thought I could use the 650MHz setting but I just
realised 650MHz at 100MHz FSB is a 6.5 multipiler setting, while
666MHz at 133MHz FSB is a 5 multipiler setting - of course this
might be due to my being outdated on multipilers (not played with
them for years) or being tired, but is it safe to run the 666MHz/
133MHz FSB processor at 650MHz/100MHz FSB at a higher multipiler?
Or is it best to run the processor at 500MHz/100MHz FSB at 5
multipiler setting?
Thanks very much for your help in advance!
Regards - Piers
