Possible to O/C a barton like this....?

[xSkyDrAx]

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to overclock their amd barton 2500+ by raising the fsb and let the ram run at say..80% of the fsb so say your running your fsb at 250 and your ram at 200fsb. Did that make sense? I was just wondering what would happen if it's even possible.

I've tried it but running async isn't good with AthlonXP systems. The only time I'd do it is if my RAM wouldn't run at 200 Mhz. That wasn't with a 250 Mhz FSB though... the highest FSB I've gotten mine to boot at is 233.

*EDIT* For a while I ran 221x10 with a 75% divider with my PC2700 RAM until I got some PC3200.
