From Australia:
I am having trouble finding a supplier for an XP3000+ 400Mhz FSB CPU.
I have tried 4 shops in Sydney and Melbourne. All say that their suppliers are unable to get this CPU. Why is this so ?

Any suggestions ?

Cheers,
Fred.

My system will be:
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (400Mhz FSB)
Thermaltake fan
ASUS A7N8X Deluxe mainboard
1GB KIT DDR PC3200 400Mhz Kingston
Seagate 160G 7200RPM SATA-150 8MB Cache
ATI Radeon 9700 128Mb Video

don't worry, athlon XP 3000+ with FSB 166 (freq = 2,167 Ghz) will support FSB 200 with no prob at all within bios setup or nvsystem utility (cf nvidia.com to get it)

Okay thanks.
So both CPU's are same ?
Both will run at 166 and 200 FSB ?

Both will run at 166 and 200Mhz fsb without problems. THe only difference, is that one uses 166Mhz(and mp 13) by default and one 200Mhz(and mp 10,5) by default.
