K i know what you are thinking that its locked and all, but when i changed my multiplier from 10.5 to 11 and booted to windows, in GCPUID said the multi was still 10.5. When I go into bios after I restarted again the multi was at 11 still. Whats the deal? Im running a AMD 3000+ 400fsb barton, on a ASUS a7n8x-e Deluxe, CORSAIR xms pc 3200 ram.

You chip is multiplier locked because it's not what you can change it to inside BIOS, it's what multiplier you have while you're in Windows...

Your chip was probably made in 2004 and they started locking almost all of them made after week 30-something in 2003.

The only way to get the most out of it is to get quality RAM that can go way into 200s FSB.

When you change the FSB...you are OCing the memory...There is no way to physically change the memory's default Mhz...(example: changing PC3200 to PC3500 without changing the FSB)

So to OC your memory...you will have to up the FSB...

I try ocing past 200 fsb but when i start running 3dmark01 on loops it will freeze and give me blue screen of death. Whats next? Raise the ram voltage from 2.6 to 2.7? My timings are at 2-3-3-6.

210x10.5 is 2205
220x10.5 is 2310

You will definetly have to up the core voltage to run at those speeds since your CPU is locked...

Try looser ram timings, IE 11 3 3 2.5, 2.7-2.9v through the ram, and 1.75 vcore, maybe 1.85 if you realy want a high oc.
