Message: <blockquote data-quote="mYth" data-source="post: 164348" data-attributes="member: 8107">Building a system from older components for a buddy......should the CPU FSB and memory MHz match or can they be differential i.e. processor 333/mem 400.....also checked the board BIOS and it says it can support 400Mhz, but it uses presets for the processor speed. There's a manual mode, but it's a style I'm unfimilar with i.e. 13/133 and so on......any help in this realm would be appreciated!In the processor realm, he wanted either the AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 333 or 400 MHz, or the 3200+ Barton core @ 400 MHz, so ideas or suggestions? (Read something about Athlon MP @ 2.25 GHz and it would work on this board, but the drawback was 266 MHZ FSB?????)He also wanted the best vid card he could fit into the system.....GeForce 6600 or 6800. I would like ur opinion on them and weither 128 Mb vs. 256 Mb is the answer.....Thanx!</blockquote>
