Does all DDR 400 Memory clock down to 266?

Hi there. I have a question. I have a older computer that I am going to buy some memory for. It's a Athlon XP 2000+ CPU 266, and the motherboard I think is 266.

The motherboard is a PC Chips M811 VIA KT 266A/8235

I am wondering which memory I should buy? Is it ok to put DDR 400 memory in it or should I go for the 266 memory?.

I was kind of thinking maybe buying 400 for the system as its the same price and gives better room to upgrade in the future.

So If I put 400 memory in the system will it just automatically clock down to 266?

Is all 400 memory 266 compatible?

Oh ya I should mention that this system isnt overclocked at all. Just running all stock.


Thanks for the help.
 
P.S. I should sell you my old ASUS A7N8X Deluxe, Barton 2500+, and some good DDR-3200.

I need to sell some of this stuff before it becomes as worthless as my Elsa GF2-Ultra, lol.
 
Hey ya. Just curious were you wanting to sell all that stuff together or parted out?

What kind of memory do ya have?
 
I don't know for AMD's processors, but for my old P4 2.4Ghz 533fsb, all fast memory would clock down because of the slower FSB.
