Im looking to add more DDRr am to my P4S800 MoBo, 2 512 PC3200 sticks to give me 1gig. In the manual it says make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU front side bus and it has 800MHz, 533MHz and 400MHz in a table with the memory frequency you can use.

How can I find out what FSB I have? I cant seem to find anything in the BIOS. I thought that if I get PC3200 or evn 2700 I'll be ok as those memory frequencies can be used on all 3 FSB's. However Ive noticed when looking at memory it will say 512 PC3200 abd also 400MHz, so will I need to get the rights speed? (Which I cant seem to find out).
Cheers.

PC3200 (DDR400 @ 200MHz) is backwards compatible with PC2100 (DDR266 @ 133MHz) & PC2700 (DDR333 @ 166MHz).

Kingston 512MB PC3200 is on sale this week at Circuit City for $25 after rebate.
