I have a Abit NF-7 v2.0 mother board with a AMD Athlon 2800+XP Barton core installed. Right now I'm running it at 333mhz FSB. I'd like to know if this CPU would...could....run at 400mhz. Pretty happy with the speed now but a little more never hurts.

Well, I think that relies on your ram more than your cpu. You can always lower your multiplier if your cpu can't handle it.

Do you know what speed your RAM is? (pc-3200, pc-2700, etc.)? I have a Athlon XP Barton 2800+ at a dual pumped FSB of 400MHz and it runs fine. It should depend on whether your RAM is clocked at 400MHz or not.
