If I only have one stick of Ram does it matter what slot I put it in?

hey guys; I just picked up the A7N8X non-delux version 2.0 (with the 400FSB support), and I cannot seem to be able to change the FSB! Its messed ....
I'm running an Athlon XP 2500+ Barton core, and in the bios the only options for the frequency are 100,133,166,200 .. I thought you were supposed to be able to change it in 1mhz increments? It says in the manual, and everywhere I've read .. I just flashed to the latest bios as of today and while it works great; I can't tweak the FSB.
Any ideas? Stumped

but as far as your instability issues, exactly what would happen when you used pc probe?

I just hooked up my system with XP2500 Barton and Geil 3200 400mhz 512mg ram. I was little scared about the RAM but everything worked out fine. It even runs at 400mhz which is suprising.
When I first booted it didn't recongize my Barton....changed the FSB to 166 and it recognized it as 1.83Ghz XP2500.
Still have few questions though....I read the Asus manual and it says not to upgrade the bios unless you know it will fix a specifoc problem....is this right. Should I leave it if it runs fine. Does "if it aint broke...don't fix it" apply to the bios...???
Also I noticed a Aggresive setting in the Bios...what does that do?? Should I chage it??
And do you guys have any other settings I should turn off that I wouldn't be using? Like Raid screen for example...I really dont need that to come up on the boot....which other settings should I adjust.
AI found Asus instruction booklet to have rather very low amount of info in it....still cant figure out few things. For example HDD LED...Im not really sure where to plug that in. It doesnt say anthing about that. I guess that the Led for HD activity. Where should I hook that up or what would it be called in ASUS instrucitions....
TIA

I just installed the latest Bios 1007. I still cant boot up at 200x11 for some reason. Always comes up with a blue screen....
But 195 or 190 runs fine. It does read it as XP3200 though at 2.08GHZ for 190 and 2.15GHZ for 195.
I checked the temps in the bios (hardware monitor) and its running at CPU low 30s and MB at mid 20s...How would I check the temp in XP though or while running apps???
ANother question is....should I set my video memory in the bios to 128mb??? Its set to 64mb.....Im running ATI 9600 pro.
Also I noticed at the boot up screen it says Memory Frequancy at 195mhz...what does that mean??? I have Geil 512mb PC3200 400mhz....
