For what it is worth:

The current Linux Journal is their "Ultimate Linux Box" issue, featuring
AMD 939 dual core. They address the memory speed issue explicitly and
claim a bios setting gets 400MHz with no glitches on the ABIT AN8 32x 939
board. The same article said that 3GB did not reset the bus to 333MHz. 
They also said that the real issue was populating all memory banks.
