It's limited by your motherboard on what CPU it can take. The list of supported processors is most likely listed in the manual.

Why is it more important to describe the CPU and the motherboard bus using the term frequency rather then speed?

The CPU and the Motherboard bus(called the Frontside Bus) run at 2 different speeds. The Frontside bus runs at the speed that was specified for that particular motherboard and is powered by a crystal that sends electronic pulses over the bus at a steady rate. For instance you're bus speed may be 100MHz. But your CPU speed may be 800Mhz. The reason is that the CPU manufactorer build in a multiplier into the CPU to make it faster. In the example I just gave you, the multiplier is 8x. So 100MHz bus speed times 8 = 800MHz CPU speed. Now if you want to figure out the throughput you multiply the CPU speed (800MHz by 8(8 byes). And you have the throughput of 1600MB or 1.6GHZ. If you bought a PC with these calculations it would be a PC1600. Finally, the reason it is 8 bytes is because motherboard bus these days send data in 64-bit chunks which is 8 bytes.
