    Memory Speed Question

    ok ive done some more research and think that i can only get the ones that go up to 333 mhz because thats a PC2700 and thats all that my mobo will support, but should i buy a 400 mhz just so i can overclock the FSB later without worrys, or will it not work with mobo... Thanks, Matt
