What will be the best way to overclock my 2500+ barton? I've heard the multiplier is unlocked so should I just increase the muliplier or should I increase the FSB? What will I have to do to turn the Barton 2500+ into a 2800+ and what are my chances? I will be using an Epox 8RDA+ with a Radeon 9700np and Kingston Hyper X PC2700.

Also, how do you pronounce EPOX?

ee-poe?
ee-pocks?
eh-poe?
eh-pocks?

I know it's not that important but I've heard it pronounced many different ways. Just thought I should be informed :)

Go as far as you can with the FSB, then try upping the multiplier to see if that gets you any further.
Start with FSB first though, and 1:1 FSB:mem speeds.

I would say you have a 100% chance of getting it past 2800+ speed. My 2100+ easily got to 3000+.

LOL. A guy at my work corrected me one day when I called it "eh-pocks". He said it was pronounced "ee-poe". He's a computer guru so I assumed I was wrong. Turns out we were both wrong :eek: ee-pocks it is!
