For some reason I doubt thier stock numbers on some of those chips, they have 20,000+ 2.4C's??? does Intel even make those chips anymore?also 970 P4 3.2 EE's @ $965 is close to a million bucks of just those. Kinda weird.
 
Corsair's XMS will almost always do 2-3-3-11, which is very good performing timings. Don't worry if you're forced to run it at 2.5-3-3-11, though, it doesn't make a huge hit on the performance of the AMD's, like it does with the Intel's. By the way, JBT, wtf?😀

XP 2500+ Barton

what settings should i try to get 2.0ghz?
Jack the FSB up to 200, then up the Vcore to about 1.725-1.75. It will probably run just fine at 2.2ghz if you do that. I also had to up the vdimm to 2.9 to get my Corsair XMS 3200 to run at tight timings.

 
set the memory timings to auto so you don't get any memory overheating (happened to me), then just raise that baby to 203 (203 is the last timings before it'll make you hit 9-4-4-3.0 (8-3-3-2.5 is significantly quicker than those timings).
 
my memory settings are sdram active precharge delay 8
ras to cas delay 4
precharge delay 4
cas 2.5t

are these correct or do they have to be cahnged in order to work better?
