    Upgrded my mb and vid card in the summer, now I look back I should have gone to the athlon 64 but I did'nt. I have been reading up on the amd 2500 mobile and how well they say it overclocks. I have been using the easytune utility and using it on my 2400+ which just increases the fsb so far had it up to 2162. So I kinda got the bug. To get the full potential out of this mb and not forking out $300 for a 3200+ I could get some 3200 ram and the cpu for the price of the 3200+. I read that it runs at 266fsb and clock ratio of 6 default. My board has dip switches to set the clk ratio. The fsb I found in the bios, with 3 options normal,turbo and manual. I was playing around and figured if I was to do this I should go to manual and set it at 200fsb, correct me if I am wrong. My question is what should I set the dip switches at. The options are 5x all the way up to 18x. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Are you sure the 3200 runs @ 266? I thought they were all 333MHz (x6 = 1998Mhz).
    I thought the 2500 chip could be fsb'd to 333 (from 266) with little effort (decent RAM and a little CPU voltage increase) not too sure about the mobile chip though...
