    Since PC2100 is 133mhz and the 3200+ runs at 200mhz, the chances of overclocking that far aren't very good in my opinion. You should be able to run the 2500+ at slower speeds though (i.e. lower FSB).

    the memory is synchronous to the front side bus. It is possible to run it asynchronous but it's never really done on AMD systems.

    get some high quality DDR400 RAM so you can set your FSB to 200MHz which is what the CPU(hopefully)/Motherboard allows you to do.

    3200+ speeds = 11 x 200
