Hello. I was wondering if it was possible to
OC the following system:

P4 2.8C 800FSB
ASUS P4P800 Deluxe
2X512MB PC3200 Dual Channel RAM


Yep



I haven't done any overclocking before but
something tells me any CPU overclocking would
need to have the RAM speed down, no?


No, you want to run the ram at the same rate as the FSB as P4's LOVE ram
bandwidth as much as FSB speed. I wouldn't get crazy oclocking it, try a
FSB of 205 to 210 (multiplied times 4 will be 820 to 840..) and see if it's
stable. Do you have memory in performance mode (not turbo mode, that's
another setting..)? This helps as well.
