??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

My mobo (Asus A7N8X2.0 Deluxe Rev. 2.0) lists an FSB range of 200-400MHz. However BIOS only listed up to 200MHz.  My processor (AMD Athlon XP 2600+) supports 333MHz FSB. I think I'm running my PC below its capacity. Any suggestion how  I can twirk it up a bit. I'm now running at 2.2 GHz at 200MHz FSB. Also can I install an Athlon 3200+ (same socket) and  see a noticeable difference?

If your already running at 2.2Ghz and 200FSB then it isnt worth putting in a XP3200 as your practicarly at those kinda speeds anyhow.

Also whatever your FSB is at double and you get the final value.  i.e. 200FSB = 400 (PC3200 ram)  166FSB = 333 (PC2700 ram) etc etc.

Your PC is running fine and it is in synch so dont worry.
