thanks...

No, not at all.

It's rated for 200MHz DDR memory bus.

The FSB has nothing to do with it.

Yes but not all can do so at the same CAS

eg some ram may be set at 2.5 and needs to be set to 3.0 to do it.

No memory in the world is rated for 400MHz......PC3200 runs at 200MHz. The
400DDR is just marketing BS.

Yeah it is, but it is so prevalent that even some overclocking websites have
things like "400mhz fsb" in their sales blurb when they mean pc3200 - I was
just going to let it slide as I knew what they meant,

But if we are all going to be pedantic - if there were such a thing as
400mhz fsb in the amd world, the memory could be run at a fsb/memory ratio
of 2:1 - so the answer is still yes.
- but you would still have to get CAS right

Yes PC3200 memory is for 400FSB

NO PC3200 memory does not operate at 400MHZ, its a DUAL CHANNEL 200MHZ.

The problem is, a lot of people don't understand the difference between FSB and Memory Bus.

Dictionary says: Short for Front Side Bus, FSB is also known as the Processor Bus, Memory Bus, or System Bus connects the CPU with the main memory and is used to connect to other components within the computer. The FSB can range from speeds of 66 MHz, 133 MHz, 100 MHz, 266 MHz, 400 MHz, and up.

Okay now, I'm confused myself, what the heck is Processor Bus, Memory Bus and System bus.

Don't even start with Pentium 4's 533FSB, thats messed up.
