How would I overclock the front bus using turbo? Can it be done without getting registry errors where I would have to reinstall windows?

OK, I am a slight Newbie.

you cant really say what the memory can do on a certain set up. youll have to take a few minutes and find what the highest setting that is stable. just try it, theres no telling beyond the manufactures spec but many systems can do better.

I use the same ram at 180 FSB at turbo timings with the most aggressive timings on stock voltage.

This Corsair is rated for 200 MHz FSB. I think it will be able to handle 140 MHz FSB with aggressive timings.

140 was a snap! Hmmm, Wondering how high I can go with these aggressive timings for fbs. Set now at 2,2,2,5,4-bank, 1T.

Just so you know, that stick is guaranteed to run at 3-3-6 200MHz 2T command. Is your stick C2 or C2.5? Mine is C2 and runs 200MHz at 2.8v 2-2-5 1T.

WTF?, my XMS 3500 Cas2 wouldn't run default speeds at 2-2-5-2! It's running 2-6-3-3 right now at 210mhz 2.6V. Whats wrong with my memory?

It's not rated to run 2-2-5 at any speed. It's rated to run at 414 (?) 3-3-6. It's not doing that so I'd RMA it directly to Corsair. That's what I did with my previous stick and I had a new one within 10 days.
