what will happen if I try to put a processor that MAY be too good/fast for the motherboard on it just to test if it really IS too good? Can stuff burn and catch fire, or can anything get broken at all? Or is there some failsafe/thing that just won't let me turn the computer on if I try it?

hmm..
the thing is I've got an 866 mhz processor from another comp that crashed utterly (its motherboard blew up), but my comp is an antique at 266, and I doubt that the 866 would work on that motherboard...
Oh, how I'd like to feel that I actually needed a better computer so that I'd bother to actually spend money on buying some overloaded stuff, but I feel like music, movies and alcohol are more important, so I just keep on spending my money on that... computers are WAY too expensive for what you actually get from them... (as opposed to alcohol, which lasts AT LEAST two hours.. hahah!)

Yeah won't work,it prolly won't even fit, as socket size varies.
Motherboard won't recognize it, is the proc from the same manufacturer as the old one, is the faster processor from the same line as the older one, etc. etc.
