Want to build a server <$400.

Yes it is, you just want to set your CPU's FSB and your RAM's speed both at 166mhz so that they run at a 1:1 ratio, meaning one is the same exact speed as the other.

You should change the CPU FSB in Frequency Voltage Control, just a sec I'll give you directions through your BIOS for setting up the RAM speeds!

ALRIGHT!

`In BIOS goto "ADVANCED CHIPSET FEATURES"
`Then, There should be two selections, "DRAM TIMING CONTROL" and something about the AGP speed
`Select, CONFIGURE SDRAM TIMING BY "SPD"
`Select "333" as the speed!
Hit ESCAPE a few times, click exit&save changes in the menu!

SORRY! I have the BIOS update, meaning my BIOS is different!

Actually, from what you've told me, your Mobo doesn't have the option; it merely goes up to 200MHz. So, if this' true, you'll want to choose 166MHz. Why? Because your motherboard does not actually support speeds under 200MHz, but it is really multiplying the number you input by 2! Therefore, 133=266, 166=333, and 200=400. So if you want a 333MHz FSB, you'd set it to 166 in the BIOS. Same goes for RAM.
