Motherboard + CPU question

Hey

I have an Asus P4S8X motherboard with a P4 2.53GHz Socket 478 CPU on it, I checked out the asus website to see what processor I could upgrade to and its says my motherboard only supports a CPU with a front side bus of 400/533 MHz, does this I can't use the 800MHz frontside bus CPU's on my motherboard? and how can I tell what I can upgrade to in terms of speeds?

Thanks Jeffo's

You cannot use the new 800Mhz FSB CPU's I believe the fastest 533mhz CPU on the market is 3.06Ghz P4.
