Once again, it's time to play everyone's favorite game, pick the overclock. Let me know which one you guys think is best. Here's my equipment.

K8N Neo2 Platinum with 1.4 BIOS
2x512MB OCZ PC3200 EL Platinum Rev. 2
Thermalright XP-120 Heatsink w/ Enermax 120mm fan
Athlon64 3200+ 90nm
Antec 550W TruePower PSU

That is a no-brainer...Though you should list cas timings on that unless they are all the same....

HTT means just about nothing in most of my test...

50-75 mhz more clock speed and highest ram speed...no brianer...even if you had cas 2.5 at 250 and now have cas 3 I think the more clock and higher sped ddr ram is still better....


Now the only thing is to consider is how much voltage of vcore and vdimm did it take....Sometims for heat and possibly wear ad tear it may be better to step it make a few notches since performance gains will be minimal....I test at 2.7ghz some but I run at 2.646mhz 24/7 now....

Until I get my new OCZ powerstream and GSkill ddr....

Well, this might just be a moot point. I'm getting serious stability problems at anything other than 250FSB. This is even with some pretty high voltages. 2.80 Vmem and 1.65 Vcore. Thanks for the advice though. I'll see what I can do further.
