Setup:

Athlon XP 1600 (locked) w/volcano 9; Currently running 133x10.5

2x256 Samsung pc2700

Epox 8rda+ ver 1.0 (stock cooling on northbridge)

Antec Tower case with 350W PS w/stock case fans

Sapphire 9500 np softmodded to 9700


I currently have the optimal settings on the board, since the only game I play online is America's Army. I'm just looking to make a few changes to get a little more speed, but nothing too crazy. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

If we assume the 1600+ is a locked Palomino, then a slight bump in vcore to 1.80v or so should get you to a 166MHz fsb if it is a decent stepping.

I think that was the best stepping, it's been awhile. Most of those seem to hit 1800MHz without getting outrageous on the core voltage.
