I have an eMachine T2484 with mobo VC37. I plan to upgrade its celeron CPU to make it faster. By the way I had upgraded its RAM to 1280MB. I am thinking of buying this CPU from Newegg:

Intel Pentium 4 2.8 Northwood 2.8GHz 512KB L2 Cache Socket 478 68.4W Single-Core Processor.

This CPU has a FSB of 533 but my pc original CPU (intel celeron 2.4 ghz) has a FSB of 400 only. I understand this motherboad is capable of FSB 533.

Will this work with or without altering the Bios and if not any suggested CPU higher than my present one.

Thank you in advance
Allen
