Do the current nforce2 boards support a 400mhz fsb? Because I wouldn't want to buy a whole new mobo when I decide to upgrade later. I know they say they only support 333, but is that because there are no 400mhz processors out right now?

NVidia has a new northbridge chip, crush18 A1, that replaced crush17 C1 and supports 200MHz FSB natively. Every manufactuer should be using this NB now, so new revisions should support 200MHz FSB. All Epox and Abit boards support 200MHz FSB throught bios updates. Asus needs to step up now, but I don't see it happening. Peace.

The Soltek SL-75FRN2-L will handle it and the SL-75MRN-L just had a bios released with 3200+ support as well.
