I'm looking for a new motherboard and I was looking at one in particular from Abit called the NF7-S2 Motherboard. Based on this site: TestReport it says it supports a AMD XP 3200+/200 but I don't see anything about support for a 3200+/400 fsb.Yet on this page it says it supports 400MHz fsb: NF7-S2 Am I to believe that this board will not support a AMD XP 3200+ 400MHz fsb CPU?

IIRC 400 is the max supported speed of the FSB, the value 200 creeps in from the memory frequency, being DDR it only needs to operate at half the FSB speed and operate on both the rise and fall of the clock pulse.

No reason for the chip not to work, the S2 is newer than my old (and very good) NF7-S V2.0 and i could use that chip.
