Help o/c a xp2600 on a MSI KT6 Delta mobo...

[The Fishmeister]

'ello.

I have looked at a couple of o/c threads 'cause I'm still a newbie at this.
System is Xp2600 Barton, MSI KT6 Delta mobo, 512 mb DDR ram, Geforce MX400 64mb, and M Audio Delta 44 s/card.

I have got the FSB to 186 from 166 with multiplier on auto before it won't boot. Cleared CMOS and it boots no probs.Think I need to boost the Vcore a touch to go higher...Rams running at 333mhz. Now as my cooling is rated up to Xp3200, think thats ok as well- Cpu temp runs at 49 c.
So whats the best way to go higher? I 've seen that some Xp's can get a 300/400 mhz increase. I'm not expecting that without serious cooling, but is multiplier the route to go or what? How much vcore boost? Is the Ram set ok if I boost the FSB a lot??

Any help appreciated lots!!

Make sure your using the highest divder you can as KT600 boards don't lock the PCI/AGP bus.

Ah..... Furton do you mean multiplier when you say divider? And does that mean that there could be conflicts with the FSB speed and the AGP/PCI buss speed? Sorry well new at this ya'see. Noticed that you have an Athlon 1700 running at 2.3 Ghz. How mad is that!!

By divider I mean that number that looks like 5:1, I think you need the 6:1 divider on your mobo for 200FSB.

ok, am looking in the bios for it. Still trying to work out the various relationships on the mobo...i.e. different busses and when to use them etc.
