New Barton 2500+ just delivered.

CPU

What board is it?

My early revision Epox 8RDA Nforce2 board doesn't support 200 FSB "officially", but my 2500+ is currently running at 183 FSB (2.0ghz) at stock voltage.

MSI K7N2-L
I think the FSB may jump higher... not 100% sure.
Im at work right so I cant check the bios

I just checked the OC Database at Overclockers.com and there are several people running K7N2-L boards that are running at 2.2ghz+.

Not sure if the K7N2-L version they are running differs from yours, though.

I'd definately check the BIOS and find out the highest available FSB setting before looking for a new board.

I got myself a K7N2-L and Im' running at 200mhz Just give it a try and see how it goes For the most part it K7N2-L can handle 200mhz.

cool
thanks for the replies and "support" guys.
I figured it COULD go above 333FSB, the question was how much.
Sounds like I have a shot at it then regarldess... still need some new RAM though.
Im going to have to sit on a 3:2 divider for a bit until I can upgrade the PC2100
