Compatability

I've got this motherboard http://www.mainboard.cz/mb/matsonic/MS8157E.htm . Can I put this processor http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=62051 and this memory http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=9667919023&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=48122 into it? Thanks in advance.

It appears that this mobo has a bus speed of 266MHz whilst the CPU is 333MHz, which may be recognised by the board but will run a lot slower than it should. Look at this alternative CPU.

The memory conforms to the requirements i.e. 184 pin, non-ECC, non buffered; but being PC3200 is again probably much faster than 'supported' by the mobo, however this is less critical as the memory will run as fast as the board can handle and you often find that older, slower memory is more expensive anyway.
