Argh!

no...no...no...

FSB is the board frequency times 2.

Max FSB that can be set on these boards is 400, and that's with a frequency setting of 200 MHz. FSB at 333 means a system clock of 166, doubled.

The system clock also sets the memory speed. The memory carries data in and out at the rise and fall of the clock signal, hence the name DDR (Double Data Rate). A system freq of 200 MHz is DDR 400.

The CPU socket wasn't designed to handle more than a 200 MHz frequency anyways!
