i need ur feedback and expertise pls on my hardware. my specs are as ff: C2D E6400 2.13ghz, 1gb ram, 7600gs PCIx. im about to purchase Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R Intel P35 . with this mobo and specs that i already have, can i OC my FSB to 3.2GHz or even higher?

yes, assuming that your RAM can do DDR2 800

tnx for reply BUFF,i missed to post that part,my RAM is 512 X 2 corsair ddr667,w/c i doubt would bear the D9 chip.FSB3.2ghz or higher,could it still be doable given this RAM of mine?

sorry, its ddr2 667

lowest that you can go on P35 is 1:1.
At stock DDR2 667 (ie.e 333 fsb) then with your 8x CPU multi that gives 2.67GHz.
I don't know how well your DIMMs will overclock - they may make DDR2 800 with more voltage & looser timings but they may not.

3 ways to go:
Buy the mobo & see just how well or not your RAM ocs.
DDR2 RAM is cheap now & you'll probably need/want 2Gb so you can probably pick that up for~$80.
Or buy an nF650i based mobo that can unlink the CPU & RAM buses & clock independently.

tnx buff,pls visit this article again in bwt a week from now,probably il be able to built my p35 mobo and planning to arm it wd ddr2 800 to boost a lot more. peace & ciao
