Is that a Palomino core or a T-bred core?

Unfortunately, the Palolmino core XP2000+ is a terrible overclocker.

Download this. It'll tell you what core you have.

Amen, brother. My Palomino wouldn't let me do a MHz above stock on my A7N8X-DX. I just upgraded to a 2500+ Barton and it runs at 200MHz FSB with no problem. It actually runs cooler overclocked than the 2000+ did stock, if the thermal probe readings are to be believed (which I know vary a lot depending on which BIOS and version of Asus probe you use, but on the same BIOS and Probe version the 2500+ was cooler relative to the 2000+ regardless of the fact that the actual temps are probably way off).
