I'm getting ready to build a new system, using an athlon 2700, with the 333 fsb, but I found a good deal on Geil ddr-3200 chips that I think I may get. My one question is that I read somewhere, where the 333 fsb chips don't like the 400mhz chips or a fsb at that rate. The mother board I'm getting is actually the Shuttle SN41G2. Do you think I'll have any problems with this set up?
 
Does this mobo support DDR400? If not then you better use DDR333.

My PC has gone to hell... because it's a killing machine...
 
Don't know much about that motherboard, but any decent motherboard will let you run PC3200(DDR400) at 333MHz.

If you have the money to spare, I'd get the PC3200 and test at both 333MHz and 400MHz. Then leave the settings where that board performs better.

Pain is the realization of your own weakness.
 
yeah, but board supports ddr3200 ram.. When i get back from vegas I'm going to order it, I'll let you know how it goes. :)
as for details on the mobo, it uses the nforce 2 chipset in an sff case. 1 4/8x agp 1 pci. supports 2 gb ddr dual channel ram via 2 slots.
I'm going with 1gb geil ddr3200 ram (like 140 a piece)
