Like I said:

AMD 2400xp 266 mhz Bus
Asus A7V8X (KT 400) 333 FBS capable
OCZ PC3200 512MB (256 x 2)
NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb

- Thermaltake Volcano11 Xaser Edition Heatsink.
- Panaflo 80mm Ultra CPU fan.
- Thermaltake A1165 Active RAM Cooling Kit with Fan.
- Enermax black with blue LCD 2 Channel Temp/Alarm/fan RPM control.

runs 98F 10% - and about 105F 90%

CPU is at 2.0 ghz
RAM is around 133 mhz I think
Voltage is stock

can I boost the RAM speed at least?
 
a. Raise the FSB to 133+(x)
b. Lower multiplier to 12.5 and raise the FSB to 166+(x)

Increasing the RAM speed while leaving the FSB at 133 will provide you with zero gains. You need to know whether your board has a 1/5 divider...what multipliers it can select from...whether it can adjust the multipliers on t-breds (most kt400 and earlier can't.) The 2400 should do 166x12.5 on stock voltage, no sweat. Practically...you won't see much of a gain over 133x15 though so it may/may not be worth the trouble. To unlock the chip, you need to wire the socket or connect the 5th L3 bridge with some conductive paint (rear window defogger repair kit from any store.)
 
I have an xp 2400 running on an a7v8x-x mobo. I can run it solid at 2.25 (13.5 x 166 fsb) but no higher; you could probably do better because the x version does not allow me to bump the vdimm; also the divider is "built in" so I'm back at a reasonable pci and agp bus with that fsb speed. I agree with chocoruacal, can't do much with raising the memory speed; I dropped the multiplier to 10 and raised the fsb and then raised the multiplier in steps and added vcore when I needed. It's pretty low (sorry, it's been awhile, but i didn't raise the vcore voltage much - just to get stability) and good luck to you.
 
2400 have never been known to be that hot of overclockers. The 2 I had would not do much over 2.2. Much rather stick with 1700's, for now...
 
ok well I put it at 13x 166 and Windows gave me this error I have never seen in my life ... some sort of Protection reboot ? Or something like that ... it would keep going to the F8 screen asking for a boot choice (safe mode, Normal, Step by Step, etc...)

anyone got any ideas?

I had to but it back to its stock 15x 133 2000ghz.

am I not doing something?
