Overclocking ASUS MB / AMD 2800+ Barton

[The Mad OverClocker]

I have an ASUS A7N8X-Deluxe MB with 512mb PC3200 ram and a
AMD 2800+ Barton (2.09Ghz) overclocked to 2.25Ghz, 180x2
FSB. The system is running nice and stable, my question is
how fast can I push the MB and cpu? I've read the ASUS
board can be O/C to 190x2 FSB before it becomes unstable,
but can the 2800+ also handle this speed? Cooling isn't a
problem, I have a huge cpu heatsink/fan and the case has 4
fans.

Oh, also... I'm using one 512mb dimm, in the future I want
to add another 512.. anybody know what dimm slots to use
to take advantage of the dual channel design? The MB
manual is kinda unclear on this.

Hello

You can increase your speed but it would be safe to do it
safely so that you do not burn your chip. Even having a larger
cooling fan does not mean that the chip won't burn. Also there
are setting i your manual that will tell you the different types
of speed about your brd.

I have that same board with and AMD 2600+ 2.06 anyway be
careful and have fun
