A7N8X Deluxe Version Question

Alright, I hope this isn't a stupid question:
I bought an A7N8X Deluxe, supposedly v2.00 with support for 400 FSB.
When I got it I immediately inspected the board and found "2.00" in small letters next to the A7N8X logo between the PCI slots.
When I installed the Asus Probe a minute ago and inspected the mobo info, this is what I saw:
"A7N8X2.0
Revision: 1.xx"
I'm not entirely if there's a difference between the semantic terms "revision" and "version" since on a lot of boards I've heard people use them as if they were interchangable.
What I want to know, is:
A. Is this a "1.xx" board or a "2.00" board?
B. Is there a difference between the terms "revision" and "version" as people apply them to this specific board?
C. If there is a difference, what is it and how does it affect me?

Also, so I don't have to post 2 topics, I was wondering if anybody could tell me(Or tell me where I can find out myself from a previous thread or topic) why my AMD Barton 2500+(333) is only running at 1100 MHz on the aforementioned A7N8X Deluxe mobo?
 
Download WCPUID and check that the system clock is around 166MHz and system bus is 333MHz. That is their proper settings. Go into bios under advanced / advanced chipset features to change it.

As for your board version, I'd say that the software you are using doesn't know how to distinguish between between the different versions of the hardware. Is the "2.00" printed on a sticker taped on the PCB, or on the PCB itself. If it is on the PCB, then it's 2.00, but if it's on a sticker, peel it off and the real version will be printed on the PCB. v2.00 officially supports 400MHz FSB, while 1.xx doesn't just yet. Peace.
 
Printed directly on the board.
And will do, am simply quite afraid of cooking my mobo.
Edit: What the hell?!
I just used the WCPU and according to it I have 64K L1 cache, but according to the Asus Probe I have 128 L1 cache.
