OK....this is what I got...now tell me what I need to do.

Retail Barton 2500+
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
2 X 512mb PC2700 ( I think its OCZ memory) with heatspreaders
Gainward Golden Sample 128mb GeForce TI4200

Now can someone tell me how to OC this puppy with the above setup and get the best bang for the buck!!
And much thanks in advance

Set the memory to 100%, then start upping the FSB 5mhz at a time until things are no longer stable then when you've found the RAMs limit (I'm presuming the ram will fold first) start upping the multiplier .5 until you reach the CPU's max stable clockspeed. Adjusting voltages as necessary, if you're using the stock heatsink/fan then see how far you can get on default vcore to avoid too much heat, if you have a great cooler then bumping it to 1.8v isn't a problem. It's just my personal experience but if the Barton 2500+ won't run stable @default vcore then there's only 100-200mhz left in it anyways without extreme voltage and cooling. You can relax ram timings slightly to help get that ram to 200mhz if it won't do it with the SPD timings but I've been reading great things about the OCZ stuff so it should get there. Of course the best thing you could have done to get a great overclock is buy the Abit J/K

Oh, don't forget coolbits to boost the ti4200 up too

Thanks for that info...I'm hoping this ASUS will do the trick!!!
