no 800mhz fsb is the speed of the front side bus. It has nothing to do with the speed of hte processor itself, other than how fast it can carry info. The first thing you do when you buy a motherboard is make sure its the same socket. You have to figure out which processor you have, and from there I can tell you what socket it is. Give me the exact model. ex AMD 64 4000+, intel pentium 4 640 ect....
Also is the computer manufactured? (dell, sony, hp, compaq ect...). If so, you cant upgrade the motherboard. (well you kinda can, but you have to send your computer in to the manufacturer and they will put a new one in). Also, they only use their motherboards most of the time. You cant just pick any random motherboard because it just wont work.
