Hey I own that mobo, I realy love this one, for me one of the best mobo Epox made. I run Corsair pc2700c2 ddr at 185 MHz most agressive timings at 3.1V, but I hit a wall at 193Mhz no matter what timing I use can't get pass that, and it's not my devices holding me back, because I ran that board 210 (memory at 3/4) and everything work IBM hdd on udma 66, NIC, and my modem without any problem except I have to change agp transfer to 2x to run 3d with ATi 8500, this board is much faster then 8k3a.
And for your question on using pc3200, yeah go ahead use it but use most agressive timings with lower fsb, most pc3200 ddr don't even run at cas2 2-5-2 1T so it doesn't matter anyway.
Just for comparison my memory bench at 190 cas2 2-6-3 1t is some 150mb/s faster then friends 8k5a at 210 using relaxed timings.
Also all 3d programs realy likes agressive timings, and that's what counts not just fsb.
