Can I run DDR400 at 266?
Its been a few years since I took a good look at computer hardware, I
currently have an XP1800 with SDRAM133. I am upgrading the motherboard to N400 Pro2, and getting DDR400. I cant afford a new chip for a few weeks, so can i use the 1800XP with the 400 ram ? |

Should I run the FSB and RAM at 133 or should I run the FSB at 133 and ram at 200 ? |

Though your system may be unstable that way, but still you can force 266 for memory also. |
