You may try flash the BIOS, this may work.  and old mobo may not support
core voltage requirement by newer P4s, if so, by running CUP over voltaged
may (mostly will) damage CPU.

Subject: [PCBUILD] 533MHz FSB P4 in 400MHz board


O.K., maybe I screwed up here.  I bought a P4 2.4GHz chip with a 533MHz FSB,
but my board only does 400MHz FSB.  I thought it should still run, only at
the slower FSB speed.  Is there something about the CPU that prevents it
from running on a board that does not have a 533MHz FSB?  I can't get it to
post (the board has already been RMA'd because the manufacture said they had
to make a physical modification to the board to get it to take a CPU over
1.7GHz).
