u read me wrong a little...
the board (stupidly) only supports PC3200 ram when there is no on-board graphics enabled.. yet it still supports 400fsb.
so, my ideal aim would be to overclock the 2500 to 400fsb like a 3200...
however initally i would like to use the onboard video.. until prices lower/ games advance enough that i can justify the cost a bit more.. in the long term i would get a AGP card and have the whole system at 400mhz
so would i have to leave the 2500 at stock speed, or could i still overclock the 2500 to 400fsb (like 3200)
whilst using ram at 333mhz (the ram would physically
be pc3200, but it would only be able to run as if it were pc2700 to comply with the onboard video)
so; could i run the 2500 at 400mhz fsb (as a 3200) but with ram at 333mhz (as pc2700)?
and as i said before, how would the performance differ between the 2500 all at 333, the 2500 at 400 with the ram at 333, and both being at 400. ?
