P4P8X 800MHZ and Memory

[Amy L.]

The P4P8X supports the 800MHZ FSB. Now if you have a P4 that supports
the 800MHZ. Does it require 400MHZ ram? I doubt it since the ASUS
site only lists PC2700/2100 as supported ram. How does that work?

DDR400 (=PC3200) RAM (=200MHz) is recommended, see

Interesting the specification does not list PC3200

"4 x 184-pin DIMM Sockets support max. 4GB 2700/2100 non-ECC DDR SDRAM
memory Dual Channel Memory Architecture "

So if you were using PC2700 ram than what would you set the FSB to of
the board?
