I've got a shuttle SP35P2 and only a few parts (lack of money) and want to put the CPU into the shuttle from my old computer the CPU is a pentium 4 HT 533mhz FSB but this is in compatible with the shuttle (a minimum of 800Mhz FSB) I want to know if theres a way around this problem without buying a new CPU.

The FSB on Intel boards is quad-pumped, so that means you can call it 200 or 800mhz.

Does happen, had a bunch of Aopen boards at work that did'nt take 400FSB Pentium 4s, only 533/800.. strangely would work with 400FSB Celerons, but any Pentium 4 i.e 1.7 Williamette or 1.6A Northwood etc.. would not work. Had a few AMD boards with no support for older Durons/Athlons on the original 200MHz bus as well.
To the OP, is this a P35 chipset? Did'nt Intel drop support for the Pentium 4 /D with this? The min FSB would be 800Mhz though so it likely would'nt work either way..have you tried the cpu?
Definitely true, as people have said you can't use 533FSB chips in P35/X38 and newer boards.
Sometimes the boards boot with them but changing any BIOS options results in no POST.
