I have an MSI KT6 Delta Motherboaurd and an AMD 2500+ Barton. I simply
entered an FSB of 200mhz. This yields a an effective FSB bandwidth of
400mhz
and an AMD 3200+ processor. The whole system is solid as a rock.

MAX CPU temps are around 55C under intense load.


What RAM do u have? (corsair, kingston, no name?)

I am using inexpensive Kingston PC2700 Value RAM. ....Solid as a rock!!!

I am stuck at 195 FSB, on a 2500+ locked chip on a gigabyte 7N400 pro
MB and I have 2 sticks of 256 ocz PC2700 memory. Is it advantageous
to upgrade the memory (priceerformance wise) to PC3200? Are there
any BIOS settings that will allow 200FSB to be stable? I start getting
intermittant crashes at 196. Tried bumping voltages to 1.725 for cpu
and 2.800 for memory and no luck going any higher. Any other
suggestions?

TIA

Hi Folks,
is it possible to tweak Athlon XP 2500+ CPU produced after 39
calendar week.
The multiplier is of course fixed, but with the right mainboard and the
right ramm it should be possible to run the system with FSB 200 Mhz!
This should be equal to Athlon 3200+.

Yup, its possible I'm running a xp 2500 as an xp3200 right now on an
Asus A7N8X-dlx rev 2 mobo:-)

Just had to set the fsb to 200 with pc3200 ddr.

And you're all doing this with post week 39 processors?

I do have GA 7N400 (Non-Pro) and 1700+ (DLT3C) + 2 sticks Kingston Value
ram 3200. With a little fooling arround , I found that Vcore +7.5% , DIMM
+.3 , memory timings 6-2-2-2.5 and Multiplier x11 gave me rock stabile
204FSB. Tryed 24/7 , and it's still working like clock.

I use 550W PSU , proper cooler (I think Coolermaster , not so sure at this
moment)
