The CPU has the capability of working with 400mhz DDR (200 ddr) so the CPU is not being used to its fullest extent. That would be my only complaint. -- Night_Seer |

That would be my guess, which does make it a bad fit for the CPU. |

| Re: buying question/help I am not sure. I bought a Computer with a GA-8S650GXM Motherboard. Has a Pentium 4 2.5 with 512DDR RAM (2 slots available). I got a GeForce4 MX440 also. I had no problem with it. As long as you got the speed, an AGP slot, than I say your doing well.
