Just installed this mobo. Using an AMD Athlon 3200+ 400fsb. Two sticks of
Kingston PC 3200/400 512. Could not install windows. I got the BSOD
everytime setup tried to reboot. Ran memtest86 And got all kinds of errors.
Yanked one of the sticks of ram and everything worked perfectly. The mobo
box lists DDR 400 as supported but not the ASUS web site. Had the sticks
installed in dimm A1 & dimm B1. Hard to believe that I just happened to pull
the bad stick out. Has anyone had a problem with 400 ram in this board?

Rudy,
PC3200 runs fine (albeit sometimes a little picky). If you've tried
reseating the presumed bad stick with no luck, also try the good stick
in the other slots just to be sure it's not a bad slot/channel. Might
just be a bad stick and you got the luck of the draw on the first shot!
