Memory question

[Azbec]

Here is what I built:

Thrmaltake Tsunami VA3000 case with 400w Thermaltake Powersupply
Epox Nforce3 MoBo
AMD 64 3200+
WD 74g 10k Raptor
DDRAM 1 gig Consair value pack
ATI Radeon 9800 pro 256 bit 256 memory
Going to go pick up a floppy drive at Best Buy Thursday (anything I should avoid?)
Sony CDRW/DVD combo drive
MS XP home

I am almost possitive it use to say 400 on the start up screen but now it says 200 and there is a T2 after too I think. What do I need to do to make sure I am running my memory the best possible way?

Also I have a place to plug in a digital camera to download pictures on my case but I couldn't figure out where to plug it in on my MoBo. Do I need to buy a pci card for that or am I just not seeing where to hook it up.

Get CPU-Z from http://www.cpuid.com and see if the CPU and memory are at a 1:1 ratio on the Memory tab. If so, then the EPoX is calling the memory speed by its base speed of 200MHz, which is double-pumped for an effective speed of 400MHz.

As far as your memory goes, I don't understand your problem/question. In your computer's specs you say you have a gig of RAM. RAM isn't broken down into 200/400. Are you talking about FSB? What startup screen are you referring to?

Your camera should be USB, and plug into a USB port, not into your mobo or a card.
