I think I am starting to get it now... If I went with the Barton 333mhz and the DDR400 I would be able to overclock the CPU by bumping up the FSB without the risk of blowing my memory. But I am probably going to go with the Barton 200Mhz(400Mhz) FSB because it is a lot faster... I just did not know how that all worked... Thanks

Thanks, that answered my question. So If I went with the Barton 333 mhz I would just be better off buying the DDR333 and not wasting my money on the DDR400 since I will not see any improved system performance...

Hello all I've been reading the Computer modder magazine and know the basics for over clocking but I'm kinda confused about one thing. I am purchasing a DFI Lanparty board (NFII Ultra) Nvidia Nforce2 chipset. It will run at a FSB speed of 233, 333, 400. The CPU AMD XP/3000 has the Barton core and a FSB of 400 MHZ effective. The memory that I want is DDR400. That is fine and good everything matches DDR 400/ 400 mhz FSB. But what if I wanted to go with the Barton 333 FSB mhz processor and the DDR400 would I loose the speed on the memory or would the memory still run at the same speed? Hope you can help....
