read some guides, you probably want to disable some options in the bios and probably not jump straight to 400

I had to update my bios on my board to 0614 to get a stable clock speed of 3.09 GHz. The 0507 bios gave all sorts of problems with the DDR2.

You can try setting to 400FSB but DO NOT double your voltage!! :eek:

I wouldn't go higher than a Vcore of 1.55V unless you have very good cooling.

If the pc fails to boot at a high FSB then you have you clear the CMOS or else you will have problems booting even at a lower FSB....
