I'm usually not one to ask for help, but I guess I'll have to let my ego sit aside for a little while.
I just recently purchased a new Athlon XP 2500+ and some PC3200 RAM. I've always thought that with AMD systems you should run the FSB of the processor and your RAM in sync. For example, the 2500+ runs at a FSB of 333Mhz, while PC3200 RAM runs at 400Mhz default, but if you run them in sync then both will run at 333Mhz.
I was wondering, will my system perform better with the two running with each other, or should I let my RAM run at 400Mhz and leave my processor at 333Mhz? And which is better for my system?
