Dr. Strangelove said:Should go 2.2, What is the stepping code on your Barton? what brand of 3200, is it a dual pack? Not sure but you may have to up your mem voltage a tad and try a relaxed mem setting. Start small and test, test, test. If you have not done so already download "Prime95" and "memtest". Sandra is good also and "CPUID". I'm somewhat new to the board myself but we have a simular setup, 2205 was no problem for mine. Try the link below for info and be sure to check out the various sticky threads on the board. there is a wealth of info here.

Overcrocked said:Personally, I don't know much about Barton steppings but the newer the better is what I hear. The ram, now that's gonna be a problem. It'll probably get you to 200fsb but it's cas 2.5 so you're not gonna get much higher, and if you do you'll have to relax your ram timings[which is bad, if you didn't know ]

BigSmokey said:I plan on OCing (although this is my first time). I also plan on getting 1g of RAM, buying 2 sticks of 512....
If you have a sec, point me to the best deal you think newegg has for my sig's system. I am going to tinker and OC slowly, but I want to make a good start even if it means waiting a few more paychecks to get what I really want.
**edit** I might get 1 stick to start with and pick up another for my birthday or xmas...

Really there is not point in getting 1gig other than brag rights and video editing.
If you still want 1gig of ram, maybe look into Twinmos or Buffalo. Grant it they are NOTHING compared to Mushkin and others as far as companies go, but they do get very good overclocks.
However, like I said, unless you do video editing or have the money to spare, don't get 1gig and instead, invest that extra $100 or so into something else.
