Well, here's how you can get to 2.5ghz really easily:

1. Set your RAM divider/DDR speed to like 100 or something low.
2. Set CPU FSB/HTT/the value at 200 now to 250.
3. Set CPU multiplier to 10x.
4. Set the LDT multipler/HTT multiplier/thing that's at 5 now to 4.
5. Increase your RAM divider/DDR speed until you fail to boot.
6. Run Prime95 overnight to check for stability.
7. You're done, and you could have saved like $50 by buying a 3200+ instead...
