I've heard a lot about ocing the 2500+ to 3200+ speeds. But I'm still confused with using the mobile 2500+. something with core voltage or something? Could someone explain this to be because I've thinking of going that route. thanks
I've overclocked my AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Mobile processor to the equivalent speed of the 3200+ model (2.2GHz) very easily. You just use a 200MHz FSB with a multiplier of 11.

when looking around I could only see mobile 2500+ with a 266 fsb. Are there even any with 333, or can that little 266 gut really push up to a 400fsb from it's 266?

Hi, i have a regular 2500 and i can oc it to 3200 easily. I simply set it to run at 3200 in the abit softmenu and it was at 3200. But it was unstable cuz it locked up after 5mins so i raised my vcore to 1.675 and volia. Perfectly stable at 3200 only prob is my temps are about 48C. Its a little high but i will get a better hsf soon.
And yes the chip does do 400fsb nicely. i would reccomend you get the regular 2500 not the mobile unless you really have good cooling and you really want to push the chip. I got the regular and i like it just fine and i saved some money too. hope that answered your questions.

"I could only see mobile 2500+ with a 266 fsb."
Since the mobile xp is unlocked the default fsb is irrelevant. A cpu does not care what fsb it runs at, only the ghz it runs at. So if the default is 15x133 it will also run fine at 10x200.
But if the cpu is locked you are stuck with the default multiplier and may hit the cpu ghz limit long before you hit the mobo fsb limit.

Yes very true but keep in mind that FSB is more important than overall ghz. For example:
A. 2061.5= 15.5x133
B. 2000=10x200
in A. you have a better overall ghz rating than B. but you recieve a performance hit because the fsb is lower than in B.^(',')]}~~~:]>

The reason mobiles are good for OCing is they can run 1.83GHz at a very low core voltage. It's the same core as an Athlon 3200, with same cache and all. BUT, it's the cream of the crop best fabricated silicon, or pick of the litter, just like the 3200's. Therefore, you can hit 2.2GHz easily when you raise the voltage up to where an Athlon 3200 runs. Like me, you may be able to hit even higher. (2.4GHz)
