Soyo KT400 and RAM

I am looking to purchase the Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra board. I plan on
putting in an Athlon XP 2400+ CPU in there with 512 MB PC2100 (266) DDR RAM.
Since the max FSB of the 2400+ CPU is 266, this would be acceptable,
correct?

Would there be any advantage to putting in PC3200 (400) DDR sticks in with
the 266 FSB CPU? Or can I wait until I upgrade the CPU to one with a FSB of
333 or 400 mhz?

TIA,

-Tom

I have had the best performance running the busses syncroniously, ie
166mz.
Yes the KT 400 DUP is pickey about its ram. Currently I am running the
voltage at 2.7 as per the mfg'r. (2 sticks Corsair) The voltage will
affect the passing or failing of a RAM test. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
