Hey everyone.
Well, I have ordered my AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (DDR333 Barton core) and my DDR400 ram! Therefore this means once I get them I should be able to overclock the ram and get the 2500 to a 3200+ as I have read just about everywhere that this is possible.
My question quite simply is....does anybody have a definitve guide on how to do this so it works? If anyone actually has a 2500 o/c to a 3200 could you please post and let me know how it runs.
