I think with the jumpers you can only go up in ram increments(ie. 100, 133, 166etc)so it depend what your doin.What ram have you got?If your like me and youve only got s---ty ddr266 its pointless changing the jumpers as it wont take the next step.(well maybe 166 but definately not 200).If you can use a jumper change then use it, its just that ur more restricted.I cant inrease my ram in small increments anyway, not even in bios.I can only do it with my cpu

BTW.I would change the fsb in bios first as its easier and quicker to adjust if something goes wrong.Once you know its safe and stable, change the jumpers.
