Cpu speed auto detected?

Hi,

kind of a dumb question, but before I drop a pentium III 800Mhz cpu
into a motherboard (socket 370, which had a different P3 cpu before) ,
I wanted to know, do these P3 generation motherboards auto detect CPU
speed/voltage or do I need to look up the online manual and specs to
find out about DIP switches to set etc? I know that the board
structurally supports this CPU because it had a higher speed CPU in it
before (1000 Mhz)..

thanks

Yes, the vast bulk of them do.

Normally not.

Should be fine, but you could specify the motherboard.
