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).

The board is an Iwill P4S.  They said it would take up to a 2.6GHz chip, but I forgot check on the FSB before I bought the chip.  Am I screwed?  (And here I thought I knew what I was doing...)
