Dumb question about mobo

I just bought a MS-6743 MOBO and I was wondering if I could fit a older 1 gig p4 chip in there as long as its socket 478?

says it suports 533mhz or 800mhz front side bus. But i dout that this 1 gig has a FSB of that...... so probly won't work right?
 
Uhhhhhh...

If the sockets are the same, it should work. But, if it's designed for the *latest* P4 then maybe it might, maybe it won't. But really, the motherboard stating how much it supports doesn't matter. It actually can support lower speeds too (think: underclocking). I've never heard of someone trying to do what you're doing though.
