The BIOS reports the memory at 200mhz single channel.  Upon booting the 
kernel reports it at close to 400mhz. I could not locate a resource before 
ordering the parts that indicated I couldn't use pc3200 with that 
processor. So at this point I am totally not sure of if it is okay or 
not. James Kinney mentioned a memory tester that worked from a boot 
disk. I have installed all the memory testers from Debian. None of them 
seem to offer a boot disk. James if you read this where might I find 
that animal?

Many Thanks Folks,
