Achieving 2000 system bus

[JASANITY]

Hello,
I'm a noob with all of the new AMD 64 chips and was wondering what it takes to get a 2000mhz system bus on an abit av8? Can you do it with ddr 400 or does it need to be ddr 500? I'm going to put my all-in-wonder 9600 on the new cpu/mobo and am wondering if
I will notice that much of a difference in HL2, Doom 3, WOW etc. Right now I have a 1.4ghz XP with a 333mhz fsb.

Thanks,
Jason

DDR 400 is the highest official spec for DDR1, so you won't need anything more than that. Besides, the effective 2000MT/s (mega-transfers/second, I think) figure is produced through two multipliers--first, the 5x HT multiplier (default), and 2x for going both ways. The core clock that is multiplied from is still 200MHz.

ok thanks for the info. Good to know ddr 400 gets 2000Mt since its cheaper =P.
