will a Socket A athlon xp 3000 400Mhz cpu work on a EPOX 8rda+ version 1.1
M/B? Will it clock down if necessary? I know the 3000 333Mhz works. not
sure which one to buy off ebay.

I have two of those boards. Neither one will get past 175 mhz (350). You
can always clock it down but why would you. I don't think a 3000+ is an
unlocked chip so you cannot raise the multiplier. Besides most 8RDA+s
probably have bad caps by now any way. If I were you I'd look elsewhere.
It comes with 400mhz capablity and new caps too! They also have others.

Buying the cpu or the mobo? My xp 2500/333 was unstable past 179 Mhz on
my now dead 1.1 8RDA+. Same cpu runs fine at 200 Mhz on my refurbished
8RDA3I from Epoxstore that Dave supplied the link for.
