Barton 2500 - OC advice plz

[Flinx]

CPU : XP2500 Barton (Week 33 0333)
Cooling: Stock (cpu Temp about 47/48C)
Memory : Corsair PC3200 CL2 (single 512)
Mobo : Abit NF7-S 2.0
Mem Timings: By SPD (2.5 3 3 8)
Vcore : 1.75 (upped from 1.65)
Other Voltages: (at default)

Multiplier: 11
Last Seemingly stable FSB: 196. Cannot get this to 200.
Tried jumping over, no luck.
It doesn't make sense to me to add any voltage to the memory but might this help?

Is it still adviseable/sensible to up the voltage to 1.8? 1.775 is not stable at 200.
I realize I may be degrading my CPU.
What is the significance of 1.8V limit in the sticky?
I have noticed 1.8V as used/max in other places.

Dropping Multiplier to 10.5 lets me get to about 205.

Any advice on the OC would be appreciated.



Thanks in advance for your advice.

Not sure but your memory seems to be holding you back.

Ok I took the plunge and went all the way to 1.8V for the CPU and gave a little juice to the memory.

Worked just fine. Now running as a pseudo 3200.
Went for agressive memory timings too 2227 and let her rip.
Awesome, truely awesome.
