Opty 252 s940 - Tyan s2850

Can an Opteron 252 (2.6ghz / 1000mhz fsb) run on
a Tyan s2850 with only 800fsb?

Looks like no:

Not on the AMD recommended motherboard list:

Looks like the closest match for the chipset on that (8111) that takes
the 252 is the 8131:

I would guess (??) that CPU is different enough from the single
hypertransport versions of the socket 940 Opteron that it wouldn't
work...but, just a guess.
