A7N8X dlx and future 400mhz FSB Bartons....will it work?

Will the new 400mhz fsb Bartons work on the A7N8X dlx?? Or will I have to buy a new or different mobo for it to work properly.

Thanks!!!!!😀

Ummm...just out of curiosity....you may not beable to answer this but will Intel's 800mhz fsb be considerably faster than AMD's 400mhz fsb Barton equivaltent?? Or is this way tooo early to tell??

Yeah, the nforce 2 can run at the 200 fsb pretty easily. I think its just the Tbred b's themselves that have trouble running at the 200 fsb.

My suspicions are that the boardmakers are holding back under pain of death from nVidia. The day 400MHz is officially supported and the Barton 400MHz is announced, expect a flood of BIOS updates and overnight stability at 200MHz+ from existing board owners. Not a fact, just my hunch. 😉

Chizow, yeah good point made. I can't wait until that day.

When is this Barton to be released?

Also- Is it possible to release a mobo to take more advantage of the larger 512k cache? Im a n00b at this.

anyone? 🙂

If you look at the CeBit article at THG it shows a XP3200+ with only a 166mhz FSB. What is with that??? Why don't they just release the thing for crip sake!!!! Is there more to moving to 200mhz that they are not telling us or something??
