Hey all...first my setup...

AMD64 - 3000 Newcastle (socket 754)
Asus K8N-E Deluxe, 1.04v BIOS
1GB Kingston 3200 Value RAM (2X512)
Geforce 4-4200
IDE West Dig 80GB
Antec Truepower 380w
WinXP SP2

I want to do some mild overclocking on this system. Before I try anything drastic, if I just push the FSB to 210mhz, what are the odds that Kingston 3200 Value RAM will run?

Okay, if I wish to set a mem divider to say, get my FSB to 220, how do I do this in the Asus BIOS? My BIOS illustrated on this article...

Where do I set the memory ratio? None of the settings stand out to me. So if I wanted to set my FSB at 220 (or 215, 210, etc), what other changes will I likely need to make? If I just keep the MemClock Value Manual at 400, will that take care of the mem divider for me if I bump the HTT over 200? Should I keep the DDRRAM Voltage at Auto or just bump it to 2.7 (is this usually a safe amount)?

Thanks for any advice!

memclock at 400 is 1:1 to if you bump fsb to 210 or 220 it would go to ddr 420 or 440, if you plan on going over 225 drop hypertransport to 3 from 4, as to memory voltage, if you get instability with the memory then try upping the voltage, some memory is rated to work at up 3.0volts, so for that type 2.7 isint enough, for your value ram 2.7 could have an adverse effect (though probably not)
