CPU FSB and Memory Speed Support Matrix
The product picture may differ from the actual product. Only for your reference.
* Due to the chipsets limitation, when using FSB533 CPU, any memory module faster than 533MHz will run at 533MHz. ** Due to the chipsets limitation, when using FSB1333 CPU, the DDRmemory module will run at 500MHz.
MSI Reminds you : Because of the limitations of chipset, this MB does not support Win98/ME.

MSI Reminds You. According to the Intel North Bridge 945GC chipset spec, this board supports CPU of FSB 800MHz at maximum by default. However, you may let your board running at FSB 1066MHz (Core 2 Duo CPUs) by overclocking and adjusting the CPU FSB frequency in the BIOS: Enter BIOS setup menu and go to [Frequency/Voltage Control] --> [Adjust CPU FSB Frequency]. There you can adjust the value to [266] for the Core 2 Duo E63XX/E64XX/ E66XX/E6700 CPUs. Please be noted that this is over-spec, and this overclocking behavior is not recommended and guaranteed.
