I had a couple of questions first I was wondering I was ocing my computer :

Processor: Athlon 2200+ Tbred
Motherboard: Asus a7v8x
Video Card: G4 Ti4600 Leadtek Winfast
Memory: 512 MB Crucial pc2700
Hard Disk: WD 80 GB
Case: Thermaltake xaser
CDROM/DVD/CDR: Plextor 40/12/40 Sony DVD 16/40
Power Supply: Enermax 350 watt
Cooling: Coolermaster hhc-001 retro fitted delta 92mm fan at 119 cfm

And I got to 185 fsb at a 10 multi but if i go to 190 or 195 windows starts to lose registry information and or wont install windows stuff like components and what not. I was wondering if it had to do with my ram basically everything is like 2.5 2 2 dont knwo what the other settings mean. But I guess that is agressive as ive read what should I do or is there a way to get around that windows problem? Also It doesnt matter what my voltage for cpu is at it doenst help right now its 1.7.

Well it seems that if I change from SPD to regular manual timings and lax all my timings to low performance something like 2.5, 3, 3, 7t then the thing runs at 190 FSB baby i did memtest v1.1 and got 0 errors after about 2 hours. ruffly 1000 cycles or so. ALso did prime 95 no sign of wear or tear there well I believe my cpu is rated for high standards so Its the memory that was bottlenecking me I sure as hell hoped it was not my AGP card I payed for that ööööö and I got a good one :) its a good FSB ocer but not a good GPU ocer i tell ya :) Man all I need now is a GEIL 3500 platinum and then ill be swimming in the overclockers love of the world!! im currently on a pc2700 because from early testings it was to my understanding that the kt400 was in a infant stage. But if you can oc it i guess it doenst matter now does it? lol im at 2630/2400 in sis on lax settings at 379.99 for memory speed. which in all actuality is higher then spd at 185 fsb about 200/300 over. which is sweet as hell i hope it runs though for a long long time :)
