I am getting a msi kt400 board and an xp 2200+ chip would pc3200 memory work ok.

I remember when cpu and memory buses where the same :-)

PC3200 is DDR400 Memory ...

... as 2100=266 & 2700=333 ... so yes to your question.

If your going to "OverClock" your system, then can I point you to Corsair XMS3500 CAS2 DDR Memory ... yep PC3500, confused yet?


This will explain better

Stick with a branded memory and not an unknown, watch out for KingMAX ... it works, but has had problems.

lol I think I get it. :-)

not built a system for a while. am i right in ssuming that the processor and memory can run at different speeds:-)

i.e. the 2200+ is a 333 processor and is able to run with 400 memory.

as ict support i should get my head around this.

p.s. glad i found this site.

err, Nope ... The 2200+ Thoroughbred has an internal clock frequency of 1800 MHz but the “Bus Clock” of 266 MHz

Suffice to say that your MSI will run an AMD 2200 & 400 DDR ram with no problems ... and ... the BIOS will "see" it all.


Good game so far, yes.

:crazy: oops I meant to say the bus clock and i was wrong anyway.

cant wait to start building the machine. can you reccomend a graphics card.

Hmmm, well, my personal favourites are nVidia and a GForce4 (I have the MX440 at the moment) ... but I think Flopps favours ATI.

Just do a search on www.google.com for any reviews.

If you see any you like give us a shout and we'll look it over for any known issues.

At the moment the ATI Radon 9xxx is the better card and the price is not that much more than the Nvidia cards.

All IIRC of course
