Hello everyone, I've been lurking for a while now and wanted to register and post up a question I have.
I've got a Dell Dimension 8400 and just ordered 4x512mb 533MHz RAM for it.
My packing slip for the 8400 says that the processor has 800fsb and yet it still says it supports 533MHz RAM. My question is two parts. The first is, will it bump to 1066fsb to support the RAM and if not, would I have been better off going with 400MHz RAM as it will perform the same with my computer? Here's a link to the tech specs on the 8400 that Dell has posted:

I don't see it listed on there, but my 8400 has a P4 630. Thanks.
