RAM upgrade

Hi all, so I've been using Corsair XMS PC2700 for about 2 and a half years now, and it has served me well - it has been running overclocked CPUs since the day I got it without any sort of trouble =D - but i'm looking to upgrade, but like my XMS(which I bought with 333MHz FSB in mind when I was...

best mobo for XP2500-M??

I'm looking to upgrade to a Mobile 2500 (and overclock it of course), but i'm not sure about the best motherboard to get. I'm guessing a NForce2 board, but which one? I'm on the budget-oriented side btw, poor college kid u see :frown:. I also have a K8 SilentBoost and a 512 DIMM of Corsair XMS...

oc newb: P4 overclocking?

i've never done any overclocking, except for my video card.. so i have a question does a P4 (im thinking about a 1.8a) need any kind of unlocking like the Athlon XP in order to overclock it? if so, what is it? and is it as hard as unlocking an XP!? thanks in advance!
