No...seriously; XP2500 from Newegg - chances of it hitting/NOT hitting 200 x 11?

[eBauer]

I got lucky and managed to get a week44 2500+ that does 11x206 1.65v, 24 hours prime95. Will also do 11x211, 1.7v. Haven't had time to see it's limit though...

I'm going to wait for the NF3250 before moving to an A64 platform. That said:

I'm planning on getting an Abit NF7-S, using an SLK-900A and PC3200 (Corsair).

I want to do at least 11 x 200...preferably not at above 1.750 volts.

If I get an XP2500 from Newegg (I know the multi is locked) what are the odds of it hitting/not hitting a 200MHz FSB?

I haven't purchased a CPU in almost a year...last one was an XP2100 that does 200x10 with just 1.700 volts.

I ordered a retail 2500+ from newegg on Monday for my wife's pc (replacing 1700+), it just arrived here 30 min ago.

MSI KTN7 (nforce2)
1 GB Crucial pc2100
Radeon 9700p

Installed cpu, slapped some arctic silver on there, booted into bios, set fsb to 200 and memory to 3:2, rebooted.

Windows started no problems. Default cpu voltage (bios reads 1.63), cpu temp 44c (case ambient 32c) @ idle.

So, basically installed, bumped up to 2.2Ghz, rebooted. No issues whatsoever.
