You can usually change the bus speed in the BIOS if the MB supports it or by a jumper on the board. If thats not an option go on http://www.pricewatch.com you can find older boards there for $50. http://castle.pricewatch.com/s/search.asp?s=400mhz+fsb Hack

I have use intel d102ggc2 motherboard and it support 2gb ddr2 667mhz why?

The motherboard supports an Intel processor, with Up To, an 800MegaHertz Front Side Bus. (800MHz FSB)

Ram memory typically operates at half of the Processor's,
FSB frequency rate. ('Speed')

If you have a Processor with an 800MHz FSB, typically you would want ram memory that operates at 400MHz.

Ram memory at 533MHz is pushing it. Still operates at 533MegaHertz, though.

[Mega = Approximately 1 Million

Hertz stands for Cycles per Second. Named after a man with the last name of Hertz.

Frequency rate is proper speak.
'Speed' is slang brought out by Intel advertising, so everyone could understand better.
'Speed' = Frequency Rate.

DDR2 Sdram at 667MHz?
Means it can operate, UP TO ,a frequency rate of 667 Million Cycles per Second ]

I'll bet your DDR2 Sdram at 667MHz, is clocked down.
Bet it isn't running at 667MHz. More like 533MHz.

Have you used CPU-Z to find out? (Free)

I am tryin to upgrade my processor on my 4000783 gateway motherboard need to change my fsb speed and dont know how

You cannot change your fsb. You need to upgrade to a cpu with a fsb speed that your board can support. Once you install the new cpu your bios will set the fsb to the higher setting of your new cpu if your board supports it. If you have your board specs it will tell you something like supports fsb 1066/800. That would mean you could upgrade to a supported 1066 fsb cpu. Hope this helps & please remember to rate my answer. Thanks.

2.2Ghz should be the fastest for your motherboard, also the cpus FSB is MAX 400Mhz

the socket is S478

only old cpus work in your motherboard new and currently being sold, core 2 duo family prosessors wont work. they all have fsb 667 or higher and your motherboard only supports up to 400fsb

here is the best cpu for your pc
