I also have a xp 2400 and didn't know there were user-selectable modes, single
channel vs dual channel, and fsb 266 vs 400. Can you point me at some FAQs so
that I can also access dual channel mode, and 266/400 fsb, with mine? I'm fairly
ignorant about such things. It's a little computer I picked up from Walmart
recently, that works OK after adding more RAM and a bigger faster hd.
Thanks.
