Will this work together?

ASUS P5P800 (533/800 FSB)
Extreme Edition 3.46 Ghz 1066FSB
PC3200 ram


i'm worried about this mobo not taking the EE, can the 533 fsb get doubled to produce 1066 and work fine with this cpu?
 
Which version of the P5P800 is it?

P5P800 - SE or MX or vanilla

Their CPU support page http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

Shows none of them were tested with the EE 1066 variant, but the in the SE specs I think its the only that states that the 1066 will work in it.

Of course that would lead me to think that if the SE version of the board would work with a 1066FSB, then all of them would.

The FSB is determined stock by the processor since its quad pumped, IE a 800mhz FSB is really 200x4, thus a 1066 is 266x4, usually done this way to match up with memory speeds for a 1:1 ratio for best performance.

Any reason why you are going with the proc, as it shows in many benchmarks that the FSB has already reached it limits as a viable upgrade path, since after 800FSB the performance increases are not as drastic
