i am thinking about
the OCZ DDR PC-4200 / 533mhz / Performance Series

Make the jump to 939

If you can muster it make the jump to 939pin and the OCZ memory.754 socket is good for now but it too will be phased out(budget chip).754 can and does go fast as 939 CPU but not when the dual channel memory controller comes into effect.Also seeing some 300fsb overclocks on the NForce 3 250gb and the NForce 3 Ultra boards.Good luck and happy over clocking.

should work great but i have a 3500+ 90nm and i cant get the fsb over 219 on a good day so it might be over kill but my proc probibly just sucks at ocing

You normally reach around 260-290 no?

wtf??? I don't think he checks this thread anymore, I know if I had waited six months for a response I'd have forgotten about it, but in case you do...I've got a 2600 Barton, I've been able to get only up to 211 on the fsb, before my computer reboots, so I wouldn't recommend it, and by now I'd agree with massraptor, go 939 if your going to shell out cash.

240 fsb was fine on my socket a

my processor is set to 333 stock so I have to go 400 first and then push the voltage
up, it's a cheap mobo, note the tears...
