mine barton 2500xp runs @ 2.00 ghz...thats all i need now...its @ 45 -50.....pushed it to 2.4ghz...temp reached 60.....worked for 4 - 5 hrs....ran sandra test...was stable.....then pulled it back to 2ghz.....think if u can hardwire ur mobo to increase ur voltage...& increasing ur voltage will increases ur temp...but thats wat u want right..a faster processsor....

There is big diff. b/w kingston or transient RAM and any other RAM available in market
Kingston & Transient RAMs r best

Yep... Kingston ValueRAM and Transcend are branded RAMs. They are of very good quality. Besides, Hynix RAM is very good too, but the problem is you get a lot of fake/duplicate Hynix RAMs!!!

What exactly are you trying to say?

I didnt get your question although i know that the current Bartons are multiplier locked.I dont have any idea about unlocking it.Atleast not aware of it.
Even though you cn overclock by increasing the FSB :)

Well either try all these methods or get a motherboard that does everything for u, i got a soltek motherboard and celeron 1.9Ghz processor on board, the fun part, the bios has an option, which when selected goes thro' all the possible fsb's and selects the one at which the system is most stable. Its pretty amazing, no need to manually test each stable fsb or multiplier setting !

its model is SL-85ERV2/ERV2-L and the technology it uses for overclocking i think is called the RED-STORM Overclocking awesome board, i have seen nothing like this here in chandigarh, my brother got this from the U.S and it was the cheapest board he could find, just goes to show how far behind we are !
