Do you think.....?

Do you think I will be able to run a Barton 2500 at 200 FSB when I get my new NF7-S?

I have an SK-6+ heatsink and 2 sticks of 256 mb Crucial 2700. Will the memory hold me back from reaching 200 FSB?

Sorry, but I'm still new to these things and could use any help.

Point by point...

1. Probably, but only if it is an NF7-S version 2.0 -- Some people have had trouble at around 190 fsb with the earlier 1.x revision boards.

2. The memory will hold back PERFORMANCE, but not overclocking due to the flexability of cpu to memory ratios available on the NF7-Sv2 (I suggest using the setting "by SPD" which runs your memory at pc2700 speed regardless of the cpu fsb. Once you get a nice overclock, then start playing with the memory ratio to try to overclock the memory too.)
