I need to know as soon as possible if I can safely use a CPU designed for a 266mhz FSB in a board with a 333mhz FSB. Will it just run fast or will it burn out or something? (The CPU is an AMD Duron.)
Using CPU with faster FSB; need help ASAP

Yes, just fine. The Chipset will run the CPU at its default FSB/RAM ratio. There's no such thing as a board designed "only" for a certain speed. Usually advertised is max running speed of the chipset.

Yay, thanks a bunch. Now if I can actually get these parts... Any good place to buy online in Canada without a credit card? Tigerdirect keeps removing things from their inventory unexpectedly which makes it very difficult to place an order. >_<

Ya. You could get a cheap 333MHz FSB Sempron for virtually the same price which performs much better than a Duron.
