Default O'C MSI K7N2 Delta and Athlon xp2800+ Barton?

I have the above combo and was wondering what the best way to overclock it
is. System is currently running @ default settings of fsb 166 x 12.5
multiplier = 2.09GHz. Memory is 2x256 MB OCZ dual channel 3200. Is it
better to increase the multiplier in bios to 13 or 13.5, or is it better to
reduce multiplier to say 11 and increase fsb to 200? Is the 2800 Bartom a
good cpu for overclocking? What about voltage or other settings that may
need to be changed.
Please advise. Current temps at default settings with stock cooling range
between 50C and 58C
Thanks
Milo

If your cpu isn't unlocked you won't be able to change the multiplier, but
if you can then a 200 FSB x 11 or 11.5 will perform better than a 166 FSB at
the same cpu speed. You can verify the multiplier settings with this
http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002.../download.html And be sure to
bump up the Vcore a notch or two if you end up with a higher than stock cpu
speed.

I have the same mobo and run a mobile 2400+ at 200x12 at 1.675v with temps
in the same range as yours.
