BIOSTAR IDEQ + XP 2500+

I see newegg has a special today on the BIOSTAR IDEQ socket 462 box,
which is 400MHz FSB. On the same page in the "also order" box they have
a Barton XP 2500+ CPU. Now that CPU is a 333MHz FSB model.

The question is, will the M/B set FSB speed correctly, or will the 2500+
run at 20% O/C? I have never tried a BIOSTAR (like Shuttle) or O/C any
recent Athlon, so I don't have an experience base on this.

If someone who has used these wants to comment on cooling, that would be
nice. The Shuttle cooling seems to work, mine all seem to run low load
with the fan off or so slow I don't hear it.

 

Shouldn't be any problem, the board should sence it's settings from the CPU.
If you have any trouble you should be able to tweek the board into
reconginizing it correctly (as I had to with my A64 + Chaintech board).
Wouldn't worry about it to much. If you really want to OC I hear that
particular CPU is really nice, almost like the old Celerons.
