Suddenly reboots by

high load; take note of what...

DDR400 mem in a DDR333 mobo by
[email protected]
Hello,
This is kind of a noobish question, but...
I have an ASUS P4S533-X mother board, in the manual it says that the
mobo suports up tp PC2700 (DDR333).
My question is, can I install PC3200 (DDR400) memory cards, or the
mobo/cards will burn?
Thanks
