Should I run at 12.5x200 (2500mHz) or 11.5x215(2473mHz). What will get me better performance? By the way I'm running a mobile Barton 2500+

Well if it's stable i would say the higher fsb w/ a lower multiplier. FSB overclocks usually generate better real world performance. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong though.

What's the safe amount you can overvolt RAM? My ram is supported up to 2.75v so how high can I go for long term use?

EDIT: Also how do you tell if your northbridge is hindering your FSB overclock? For some reason my PC won't post at all past 225FSB. I know my Mushkin Level 1 isn't the best overclocker but I would think with realy loose timings and high voltage I Could get to 230FSB or so.. But I don't know if my Northbridge is getting too hot.
