Something I'm not understanding, and it must be something I'm missing
in the specs, description, or the review. Or something I should know
and is assumed in the review that I know...but I don't know.
Here it is: I just ordered a new mobo, CPU, and RAM:
MB NFORCE2 EPOX|8RDA3+ :
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=13-123-198&depa=1
CPU AMD|2500 /333 ATHLON XP BARTON% :
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-378&depa=1
DDRAM 512MB ADATA|64Mx64 DDR400 :
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-211-119&depa=1
The board says it supports up to 400 MHz bus, the CPU 333.
However, this review of the mobo:
http://www.digital-daily.com/motherboard/epox-8rda3+/
All it mentions is 200MHz compatibility and support.
I don't get it.
If the CPU is 333MHz, and the mobo supports up to 400 according to its
specs, what's with this 200Mhz stuff?
What am I missing?
I suppose it's something that's PC's 101, but a little clue-by-four
over the head would be helpful. =)
Oh, by the way, any opinions on how this setup plus a 128MB Radeon
9600XT video card will run Doom3? =)
Thanks!
