Barton 2500+ 0323

Just got the Barton 2500+ 0323 from Newegg! Does any know how well it overclocks, my new motherboard doesn't come for another week?
 
Just got another Barton 2500+ its a 0321. I finally figured out my problem with my Soltek Nforce2 Board, after going through two boards, 3 cpus, 4 CPU coolers(and a southbridge cooler). It was the 2700 Samsung RAM, it was defective. It operates at 133Mhz without any problems, but at 166Mhz its a goner.

Anyways, just an update. I am still waiting for my new motherboard for my 0323, but in the meantime. I plugged in my 0321, and its running at 2800+ without a sweat. When I set the multiplier to 13, it didn't boot up at 3000+, are the new Barton's locked? Maybe it just needs more vCore. I'll have to play around with it after my midterm.
 
I have a similar problem. My 2500+ will boot up at 3200+ (and run Windows for a while - need new RAM!!) using a 200 MHz FSB, but when I try to hit 3200+ with multiplier, it won't do it. 2800+ was the highest she got. Ah well. I'll just drop ~$100 on 512 of Corsair. 😀

ups
