Actually I would read the mobo *and* AMD docs very, very carefully.
Using 3x DDR400 (PC3200) DIMM's is out of the JEDEC spec, IIRC.  I stick
to DDR333 (PC2700) memory as its easy to find CL2.5 DIMMs, but most
DDR400 is CL3.0.  So the end performance in the BW increase is mostly a
wash; and I avoid the electrical loading issues of the faster memory bus.
