Anyone know what Abit motherboards support the 400 mhz fsb? I was thinking of getting the 400fsb AMD 3200+ but noticed that most of them showed only up to a 333mhz fsb. Do all the cards with the nforce2 chipset support 400mhz fsb?

Also anyone heard anything wrong with running an ATI card with the nforce chipset?
 
Also one thing i loved about the Asus board is its 6x USB and dual lan

I currently have Samsung DDR333 2700 ram, will that work with the 400mhz fsb?
 
Maybe, depending on whether or not your Samsung is 100% original (Samsung chip + Samsung PCB w/ Samsung stickers everywhere). If so, most likely. I have several sticks of Samsung PC 2700 at or above 400 (cas 2). But YMMV as there're different batches w/ various OC capability.
 
Yep I am pretty sure it is all samsung original, it was bought from newegg.com

Would it be worth going for the 400fsb model 3200+ over the regular 333fsb version?

I would just get the Barton 2500+ chip and overclcok it to 200Mhz FSB. As long as your Ram can do it, the chip should.

Save your money.

 
Question: A7N8X Deluxe Revision 1.04 = no 3200+ 400FSB?

Please say no!

EDIT: CRAP! Tomshardware says only rev 2.00 is stable at 400FSB. Aww man, I was really hoping I could go from 1700+ to 3200+...

EDIT2: Heck, I'm already almost up to 200 with my 1700+. It's at like 190 now.
 
Did you try 200? Maybe you can hit it (who cares what tommy boy says). My $85 MSI can do it. $95 Epox can do it. $120 Abit can do it. You've got a quality psu to pump enough/consistent juice?
