Howdy folks,
After reading today's article on the 2500+ I was immediatly curious if the barton 2800+ could expect to reach the same gains from such small tweaks.
I have an Asus A7n8x deluxe and the barton 2800+.
If not those exact gains, does anyone have an idea what kind of performance increase I would hope to achieve with modest changes?
Thank you much.
Well its really all to do with the stepping code, and nothing to do with the chip itself.
I dont know the best stepping for 2800+ though :S
you can only try it m8
dont go mad tho just say increase your fsb by say 4or5 at a time
and make sure its stable
depending on your ram as well tho
my 2500xp is recognised as a 3200xp at 204x11fsb but mines is runnin sweet at 11.5x205 fsb

Well, I have a good batch of corsair I'm convinced, so I suppose I'll just experiment this weekend and see how it goes.
is it pc2700 or pc3200 mem m8 ?
I got my 2500 XP to 2000mhz (10x multiplier 200mhz bus) on this shuttle sn45g the other day there. The temp only increased by 1 degrees C. Think I got one of these good cpu's too. I'd say the 2800 will happily hit 3200 speeds as long as you can lower the multiplier. I wouldn't think that a 2500 can hit 3200 and a 2800 couldn't, that wouldn't be fair :(
If you got some pc3200 or higher memory, give it a bash, it's not like you'll fry it. I'm sure your PC will switch off before it does. :P
3200 cas 2.5
it sure will he has a asus a7n8x and the pc will shut down before the chip has a chance to get friedQuote:

ive seen some corsair pc2700 runnin at pc3500 speeds as well !!!
This sounds promising already. I'll go ahead and post my findings this weekend as I come across them.
My main goal is to get both my ram and my cpu at 400mhz. My clockspeed doesn't concern me all that much, although more is always better.
Hi
Just like to add, that is quite easy to overclock an XP 2800+ to an 3200+
I am running Twinmos PC3700 (2x256MB) @ 220FSB synched (11x)
2.5.3.3.8 latency settings
I'll have to do some more testing though. Where can I get Memtest from?
So far, really sweet..
