pc3200 and a7v400-mx se
The user guide says that a ddr400 may only run at 333 MHz. But there
also is a list of qualified vendors for ddr400 dimms. That confuses me a little. If I buy a dimm from the list will it run on 400MHz? Anders --

Asus is only letting the customer know that those tested dimms are certified to work from various ram manufacturers. Yet those dimms will still throttle down to 333Mhz

In answer to your question about cpu speed, the answer is no. However, I
think your confusing the board's 400 front side bus feature with ddr400 memory bandwidth speed. They are not the same.

I have no idea. I'm running a Semprom 2400+ in it, and it seems to work fine.
