How do I set my new AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 333FSB to 333FBS on my Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo (and other questions)? TIA!

Beefing up my machine but need some help for optimal settings in BIOS
for my new CPU and memory settings
I might mention one of my 512s' is a 2100 while the other one is a
2700 (backwards compatible). I plan to replace the 2100 with a 512 MB
PC2700 DDR some time later.

Ok, what you need to do is to sell all your ram on ebay and then order
some fast ram. To be safe, I'd get PC3700 minimum. Now oncew you have
that, start raising the FSB. Run ram and FSB in sync. The defaulty
multiplier for your cpu is 11.5. Lower that to 10-11. Run FSB at 190-210,
11x200=2200MHz. A good setting.
