Hi,
I currently own a AMD Athlon XP Mobile 2500+ and now it's running @ 3200+ speeds (11x200).. But i want to overclock the FSB a bit further, I have a gig of Kingston PC3200 memory, so how far do you think it can be overclocked? and how should i set the timings?
Oh, and i know that if your system's not stable when your memory is OCed.. you have to raise the mem. volt.. but cant a to high voltage damage the memory??

Summary: Hey, Smoeone told me that when you overclock your CPU by uping the FSB it also increases your ram speed so if I am running PC2100 and i overclock the CPU then the memory speed should go up to more t...
