x2 3800+ with ECS 6100SM-M mobo

[msi1337]

I wasnt looking to get a monster overclock here..just justify the $20 I saved by buying the 3800+ versus the 4200+. I don't usually overclock my cpu's, but I figured why not. So, here are the settings (this mobo doesnt have too many!)..let me know if it looks good..if I am setting something improperly? How do I tell if my SATA is locked?

LDT (4x)
FSB/HTT (220)
Multiplier (10)
The memory I have is DDR2 PC2-5300, but when I try to run it at 5300 it gives errors in Prime 95

Ran prime 95 on both cores for 8 hours with no errors. Cpu temp max 94'F
Mhz = 2200
LDTxHTT=880

Motherboard is ECS 6100SM-M Ver1 newest Bios, Processor is X2 3800+ Am2 65w, Kingston DDR2-PC25300 1GB x2

That's looking good. With it being a AM2 board (and a 6100 series, I think), I'm pretty sure that the SATA ports are locked.

You could probably push it to 2.4Ghz (240x10) at the stock voltage with no problems.

I will try for more..but I think it locks up at 2.30ghz...
