What motherboard is it using?
What FSB and multiplier settings is it using to get that speed?
Is the CPU unlocked, or is it running 13x~160?
"... ram is not yet o/ced but the cpu is."
I ***-u-me you mean that the RAM is running below SPD spec (<DDR400), but still synchronous to the FSB (~160?).
If your CPU multiplier is locked (at x13?), are you intending to run the memory bus asynchronous to the FSB (x1.25 or x1.33), in order to achieve 205-210 memory speed?
If so, have you done that already to see if it's stable, or if it benefits from that configuration?
205-210 isn't much too ask from most PC3200, if the CPU and motherboard are capable.
If it is a dual-channel capable motherboard, or if you intend to get one, then obviously you'll want to purchase as exact a match to your existing dimm as possible. Why not? ... unless you've got anticipations of 250fsb in future hardware. If that's the case, only you can decide where to spend the next $80.
What's the plan?
