hi, im going to buy a new pc, and the motherboard is going to be the a7n8x deluxe. cpu is going to be amd xp 2500+. i recently realized that the cpu's FSB is 333MHz, so i only need to have pc2700 DDR. i was originally going to get pc3200 DDR but this would be a waste (please confirm this with me, as thats only what im assuming). however the mobo has dual channel ddr400 support. since my RAM is only 333MHz, then will dual channel work with this mobo? thanks in advance brian

As long as you put the memory chips in the "correct" slots, then dual DDR will work fine at 333MHz. You need to put them in 2 and 3 for that board (they are the blue slots).
