    what i meant .... about my processor it saids XP 2600+ running at 2.08Ghz.
    what my questions was its why dosent it say Xp2800 since 2.08Ghz is an Xp2800 ? Originaly this is an
    Xp 2000+... And what i mean about my memory is Pc2100 to Pc2700...

    Are you sure its 2.08Ghz? What's telling you this? BIOS?

    i was trying to change my multiplyers to 13 its curently at 12.5 with a 166 frequency and when i tryed to go to 13 it won't boot... and when i increased the frequency to 200 n leave the multiplyer on auto or 12.5 it won't boot either highes i got is 166 frequency 12.5multiplyer . .. what do you guys think? maybe need more voltage?

    I am running my xp2000+ usually @ 1904 MHz (14.0 x 136) and it's about 54°C when fully loaded, i managed to OC'd it to 2075 (12.5 x 166), 2093 (13.0 x 161), 2100 (14.0 x 150) and 2145 MHz (15.0 x 143), but it was too damn hot at all these speeds - mostly above 56°C idle, 64°C full loaded, so if I need some more "power" i just switch to 2002 MHz (14.0 x 143 MHz, 1.75V) and it works just fine.
    I used to play around with RAM OC, but can't do it anymore since i downloaded this new BIOS update - see, i can actually change my RAM Settings to 166 MHz, 2.5-2-2-6, but all it takes from this is the bus speed and CL, the rest is taken from default setting (3-3-7) the same goes for 200 MHz (only that's CL 3, 2.5 would got my PC hung up)... and when i tried to downgrade to older version of bios, the PC became VERY unstable - it just restarted or hung up without any reason, so i had to leave the upgraded bios and forget about RAM OCing :(

    Sounds like a big problem buddy, some good advice.. Buy a factory built computer. Wahahaaa (Just kidding) nobody has answered this guys questions, I surely can't. LOL Sounds like a Cluster _UCK

    A couple comments:
    - RAM is the biggest bottleneck -- not the CPU so i'd reconsider your OC choice
    - You might want to up the voltage to the memory so it runs a tad more stable?
    - You're running the KT600.... ever since the KT333, Via's kinda lost it's touch when it comes to OCing, it might just be a limitation of the chipset that's capping you

    thx for your comments Praetor, i appreciate it a lot:
    yesterday i tried to use "turbo" & "ultra" BIOS settings for RAM instead of trying to set it manually and it works with ram set to 166mhz... @ Ultra not only that it sets it to 2-2-6, it changes the CL from 2,5 to 2,0 as well. it works fine with couple of OCing configs... 166x11.5 works fine with that, 166x12 as well (but it's getting hot), but can't go any higher unless i change it back to 2,5 3-3-7 (standard set). And i have to forget about OC @ 200Mhz, it won't even boot up, if i set it to turbo or ultra :( anyway, the overall gain is about 10-15% regarding memory operations, so it's worth trying... I tried to raise voltage but it doesn't work even though i raised it from 2.6 to 2.8 V.

    It could just be low-quality memory (no low-quality per se but just not the quality required for that kinda OC)

    i got Mushkin PC-3200 for $80, pretty cheap stuff. Not really a good overclocking brand compared to corsair, ocs, kingston and the like. but at 2.7V it runs 2.5-3-3-5 224MHz easy. im sure it could go higher but the processor (2400+) and mobo (EP-8RDA3+) get too hot(stock cooling). i built it about 2 dayz ago and it seems ok. for $80 i'd buy another stick. just an idea if you want some decent ram.

    Memory I have installed is Nanya M2U25664DS88B3G-5T
    - so it has a brand, but it's more likely non-brand anyway ;)
    I want to buy Kingmax 512MB DDR400 (see http://www.kingmax.com/product/pro_ddr400.htm) - it's $110 in local shop whil non-brand is %100. Corsair's too expensive, it's DDR400 CL2 but $170 is too much. I'd like to know, if it's worth the Kingmax's 10% higher cost. I believe it would solve my ram OC problem.
    And one more question: If I'd buy Kingmax 256 MB DDR400 and add it together with my non-brand memory, could it help? (i believe not). thx
