Hey i have a 2000+ that i plan on overclocking with the use of a watercooling system. I was wondering what mult should try to get the most out of. I will be using corsair pc3200 xms memory and a epox 8k5a3+. I was wondering if there was a sweet spot or anything

Out of concerns with damaging the chip over time, I wouldn't run it at anything over 2.0 volts. The extra MHz you'll see, if any, from running a higher voltage over a stable clock @ 2.0 volts or less, is neglegent. No 'seat of the pants' difference- just isn't worth it.

I'd run high FSB first... more benefit from it as you increase your RAM bandwidth, AGP and PCI bus bandwidth, and the times per seconds your CPU gets to communicate with the northbridge substantially, and the speed of the northbridge itself. Just stick with the stock multi first, go as high as you can in fsb, then raise the multi slowly and back off the fsb a bit till you reach the max mhz of the CPU. Then bench and find the best combo of multi/fsb for overall ram and cpu performance and r0x0r :)!

10x200 fsb if your chip is capable and obviously you need to unlock

which mobo can run a 200 fsb?
Well high qual kt333 mobo's like asus and epox should be able to handle 200fsb, the nforce2 when it comes out will handle it aswell, also kt400 may, but I'm a little in the dark about the chipset still.
My Asus A7V333 has the option to set the FSB all the way to 227Mhz, if that helps.
