Just got a foxconn 845GV based motherboard as a replacement for the msi 645 ultra in a computer. It's running a 400mhz fsb (P4 1.8A) and 256mb ddr333 memory, but only at DDR266. Foxconn's tech support rep is telling me that I have to install a 533mhz fsb cpu in order to enable ddr333 ram. He said this is characteristic of all the 845gv based motherboards. BS or fact?
thanks!
