I currently have an Athlon Socket A XP2600 on a MSI K7N2 Delta motherboard. I have just ebayed myself a XP3200 which is the fastest CPU the mobo can take.

Do I just have to drop the new CPU in the slot or are there jumper/BIOS settings to play with? I believe the FSB speed is different - will this affect my RAM?
 
Thanks folks.

I currently have 2x256Mb DIMMs and 1x512Mb Dimm. The 512Mb one is al ater add-on and I know that one is DDR400. Not too sure about the other ones as they were in the system when I got it. How can I find out - is there some sort of diagnostic tool I can get or is it printed on the side of the modules?
