Are these compatible?

Is this mobo and processor compatible???

Mobo= Intel BOXDP965LTCK Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Processor= Intel Pentium D 805 Smithfield 533MHz FSB LGA 775 Dual Core

I plan on overclocking it to 800mhz fsb anyway but will the motherboard and processor still work together if i don't or even if i do?

yes, i believe so

ok, because the only thing i am worried about is that the mobo says itsupports cpus with 1066mhz and 800mhz but not 533mhz which is what that processor is...

hmmm, well maybe i could be wrong. I would have assumed it would've been compatible, because of the same socket

Ya it says that it is for a pentium D which is what that processor is, but they make Pentium D's with 800mhz fsb's...and with 533mhz fsb's. The only real reason why I want that processor is because it is cheap and I could overclock it very easily on air...

EDIT: well for 20 more bucks I can get a pentium D with an 800mhz fsb and its 2.8 ghz so I think i'll go wqith that so that i'm entirely sure that it will work plus it will be faster out of the box.

If your going to be overclocking, the 805 is basically a cut down version of higher 8-series to get rid of them. Their amazing overclockers.
