nice - what kind of memory and CPU cooler are you using? I'm personally looking at the Zalman 7700 AlCu and Crucial Ballistix PC3200.

Up your FSB to 278, your mem is going to run at 227Mhz. And check if its stable.
If not try cpu multi 8x, fsb 300-313 and mem 133(2/3) your memory is going to run at 200-208Mhz. Check stabillity and post results... Everything I mentioned above is doable in my MSI K8N Neo2 Plat.

I would very much appreciate if you told me the exact fields mentioned in the Epox BIOS regarding memory dividers and ht multipliers.

For all valid OverClocking combinations check the calculator below.

well i dont want to run 133FSB, that kills my bandwidth. and i think im happy for now at 2.4Ghz. the highest i went at 133 was 275 and it posted, then i backed down to 267 to run my mem at 166 for 2.4

Hey man same thoughts exactly. New to OCing, but not to building. But heard good things about it.

As we ve discussed this in the other thread 133FSB is a perfectly valid option. The bandwith manages to escape
