Christmas in March? Your 2000+ will overclock some but with mixed memory you can expect little help.

What is your current motherboard? Perhaps we can help with it and you can save your money to build and overclock a new system that'll outrun everything on the block.

Hi,
If you want a good overclocking mobo then go for an Abit NF7s V2.0 mobo .. they are proberbly one of the best out there..but you will have to match your memory up first..odd memory is'nt good..!! and with the right cooling you should be able to get quite a bit extra out of that 2000xp..
