K8N Diamond and Memory

Are there any owners out there that have tried 4*512MB memory modules in
this board and been able to run the RAM at 400?
What is the best RAM to get for this config, or am I better off getting
2*1024MB modules (Dual Channel speed)?
The ASUS site and the board manual seem a bit vague on this point, seems
that 4 double sided dimm's are limited to running at 333.

Thanks

Sorry, I inadvertedly referred to ASUS instead of MSI.

You're gonna struggle to get ANY Athlon board to cope with four sticks at
400MHz. If you *really* need 2GB of RAM, then use a pair of 1GB sticks.

2 x 1024MB sticks.
