Is this right?

Just wondering if this is right, since my FSB is @ 400MHz should my RAM be @ 400MHz too? My friend pointed it out to me today, if thats the case is there a jumper on the mobo somewhere? Cuz the bios setting only goes up to 250 or so...

looks right. the memory is 'double pumped', meaning the Bus Speed will be double the FSB, and the FSB=memory speed.

on an intel machine, the memory is 'quad pumped', which is why they show up as something like 800 mhz bus speed.

at least i hope so. I already made myself look like a moron once today, if i make it two i'll be sorely disappointed.

Dakas is correct on this one. AMD is double pumped and Intel is quad pumped. Your memory is running at 200mhz. If you overclock and increase your FSB, your memory speed would increase as well.

Alrighty, i'm gonna upgrade to a CNPS7000B-Cu LED at some point, then i might give OC'n a go, is my CPU overclockable at all (i know it wouldnt be a great overclocker, but is it multiplyer locked?)?
