Will this set up work fine?

Looking to upgrade CPU and want to utilize 400FSB speed.

I have DDR PC2700 RAM at a total of 768.
Windows XP Home
K7n2 Delta-Ilsr MOBO
gforce3 ti200 pro td-128(I know a little old but still screams)


Looking at this CPU:

AMD Athlon XP 3000+ "Barton", 400 FSB, 512K Cache Processor - OEM
(limit 5 per customer)

Specification
Model: AMD Athlon XP 3000+
Core: Barton
Operating Frequency: 2.1GHz
FSB: 400MHz
Cache: L1/64K+64K; L2/512K
Voltage: 1.65V
Process: 0.13Micron
Socket: Socket A
Multimedia Instruction: MMX, SSE, 3DNOW!, 3DNOW!+
Packaging: OEM(Chip Only)

Model#: AXDA3000DKV4E


So, will this combo allow me to use the 400 FSB or should I be
looking at other things as well?


Thanks for the input.

The PC2700 is 333MHZ so if you want to run 400 MHZ you will
need PC3200..

why not get a Barton2500 MP..is totally unlocked and will work in your
board...then later when you buy PC3200 you can run at XP3200 speeds and
beyond..I have an unlocked XP2500 Barton desktop version and run it at 3200
speeds myself.

Thought so.

Would I see much difference from 333 to 400 FSB realistically?

The biggest change would be the CPU I would think.(1800xp to a 2800xp)

I probably do not want to switch memory at this time.

Looks like I will go for a 333 FSB CPU.

Thanks for the input.

Get a *Mobile Barton 2500+*, all of the rest of the Bartons out there
now are locked to prevent overclocking.
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-401&depa=1

ignore that it says 266 FSB at newegg, its a 333 FSB cpu.
These are great overclockers, I personally have an older Barton 2500+
that I have running at 12x183 = 2196 MHz, which is faster than an XP
3000+ and 4 MHz shy of the XP 3200+ speed.
If your memory is decent it should be able to handle the overclock of
the FSB ( even if you got the XP 3000+ you might be able to run your
memory at 200 MHz, ya never know), I've got 512 Mb Corsair XMS PC2700
running in dual channel.

Complete specs:
K7N2-L, BIOS 3.9, Drivers 3.13
Athlon XP 2500+ (183MHz x 12= 2.2 GHz)
Vantec Aeroflow HSF w/Arctic Alumina (CPU temp: idle 41c/load 45c)
2x256Mb Corsair XMS PC2700 (Dual Ch. 6 3 3 2.5)
Radeon 9600 Pro
SB Audigy Gamer
WD 80Gb HDD (8Mb Cache)
Lite-On 52X32X52 CD-RW
Toshiba 16x DVD
Antec True Power 430W PSU
Logitech MX500
