Hi all,

I just bought Shuttle SK43G bare bones system which has Via KM400 mobo. The
specs say it supports FSB up to 333 MHz. Unfortunately I have read the
specs after buying a CPU: it happened in another shop and was kind of
spontaneous (my mistake). The shop attendant convinced me that for my
Shuttle box this CPU (Athlon 3200+) is much better than XP 2800+ which I
was going to buy (no wonder, it was much more expensive!)

The big question now is, do I return XP 3200+ and replace it with XP 2800+
which is officially supported by my motherboard, or do I try and run XP
3200+ (possibly overclocking the mobo to 400 MHz FSB)? Is it going to work?
Is it worth the risk? Has anyone tried this?

Thanks for any suggestions.
