Hi,
I have just purchased an Athlon XP 3000+ and I have read a lot of reviews saying that the 3000+ does not run at 400 MHz fsb only 333 MHz. I bought this item off ebuyer and it advertised it at 400 MHz fsb. Do AMD make a 400MHz fsb model or is it just false advertising. If they do make a 400 MHz version how can I tell if my chip runs at that speed?
At the moment the chip is only running at 1 GHz coz I have crap ram so I just also purchased 1gig of pc 3200 RAM off overclockers.co.uk, could someone tell me if this RAM is ok (I have a tight budget)

ps I am a little confused buy some of the new graphics cards out at the moment. What I mean is that some 256mb cards are only a few quid dearer than the 128mb cards why is this? Does this mean that the 128mb cards are just as good as the 256mb cards?
thnx
