I just happen to run across an article that stated Athlon XP setups sometimes run slower if the memory isn't synchronous with the cpu. I just bought an NForce2 Ultra 400 and Mushkin dual 2x256 DDR400 (cas 2.5)(PC3200) ram. My cpu is an Athlon XP 1700 which only has a 266 fsb. 
I guess I should have gotten the Kingston HyperX 2x256mb DDR333 at 2-2-2-5-1 at the same price.
I suppose 3 years from now when it's time to rebuild again, I could just buy an Athlon XP 3200 with 400fsb and it will seem like a whole new machine.
