Any performance secrets with NF7-S and locked 2500+ Barton?

Just got this system up and running... NF7-S, 2500 Barton "0347", & Muskin 256MB Level 2 DDR PC3200.

I have the memory running at 400mhz but that is the only mod I did.

Any other ideas? I know I'm limited because of the locked chip.

Thanks

With that setup, your lokced chip really shouldn't be all that limited. Since you have the Mushkin Level II (with the BH5 chips), you should be able to go 15-20MHz more on the FSB, maybe more. For that to happen though, raising the VDimm and VCore is a must.

You might also want to consider replacing the stock NB cooler with something more powerful. Many people use the Vantec Copper Iceberg, the Swiftec NB cooler (dont know model number) and the Zalman passive NB cooler.
