Any body using this board?

Aria.co.uk state that it takes 400Mhz FSB CPU but Gigabyte Manual downloaded
from web-site states only 333MHz.

Will the XP3200+ CPU work with this board?

Unfortunatly I have aready ordered the Board and CPU so if the board only
supoorts 333Mhz what problems will I encounter. Will it run at all or do I
need another board for this CPU.

PS. I also have DDR400 Ram to go with it.

If the board you are referring to is the GA 7N400V Pro 2, then bios revision
F5 updates the board to support 200 MHz FSB. If it doesn't have the F5
revision on initial startup, you'll have to flash it- it should then work
fine with your processor and memory.

Have a look at the Gigabyte website at: www.giga-byte.com

Gigabyte often releases BIOS updates to support faster CPUs beyond
what the original release supported. Also, you should be aware that
Gigabyte updates the BIOS versions more often than the manuals, so
even out of the box, it might support more than the manual suggests.

The Bios readme's and summaries on BIOS download pages sometimes make
mention of newly supported CPUs.
