To overclock or not?

fg i'm thinking he wants to run the mem at 200

I just wanted to see if his CPU was really unlocked.

Yes as Dehcbad25 says, you want higher FSB and running in sync with the CPU. Even if you can only run @333fsb its best that the Nforce2 runs in sync.....better than the CPU @333 and ram @400.

Lower your multiplier to 11 and raise the FSB some more....

Set the CPU interface to Aggressive (or enabled) so your ram will run at the 1T command rate.

Ram timming 2.5-3-3-11

Download Memtest ISO unzip and burn to CD then boot to the CD after you make bios changes, test the memory

I just lowered the multiplyer to 11 and fbs to 195 and windows booted ok.
I can't change the cpu interface as its not selectable and as for the ram timming could you please explain as if I'm and idiot cause I don't know what any of those settings do. If you could look at my bios screen and tell me what 'Active precharge delay' means and what it should be on as no one has mentioned this one yet. Also kindly explain what the others should be set as well.
Thanks...I'm finally getting somewhere with this overclocking thingy. I tried once a couple of years ago with rev 1.0 board and fried the cmos so have been a bit scared to attempt again. I'm still a bit unsure about the relationship of speeds between the cpu and mem. If I have pc3200 is it running at 400mhz regardless of what the fbs cpu is running at?

Ok guys this is the latest.(see attachments) Windows boots and now I will run some benchmarks and see how the system handles.
