So seeing AS how there was the huge price drop i decided to look into these 2500+ bartons for 90$, im just curious as to which series or whatever is best, and what kind of an overclock can i exspect, ill be running on an nforce2 a7n8x with either kingston hyperx 3500, or corsair xms 3500 please post back any info on these chips would be greatly appreciated
 
unless you have the pc3500, i recommend not buying it as you can save money w/pc3200 and run it @ 200 Mhz FSB. as for the OC, expect somewhere in the 2.2-2.3 range
 
will i be able to take my fsb higher than 200 without much of a problem? i was hoping i could pull 10/230 for 2.3ghz and a fsb of 460, and i want the 3500 ram because i want to be able to run it at the tightest timings with the overclock thus i dont wanna have to overclock my ram as far.
 
The general trend seems to be around 2.2-2.3ghz like Shady said but some of us have 2500+'s that do 2.4-25ghz on 1.85v or less too so if you score one of those you will be in great shape.

Certainly, I've read of users having to blow a bridge to get the FSB up on older Bartons but I haven't seen it in awhile so it looks to be a non-issue now.
