Overclocking Athlon 64 2800+

not really worth doing OC. Your better off getting decent ram and optimixzing the ram timings in the bios to get as efficient data throughput as you can.

Makes a big difference if your still using system defaults

Like if you have 400 ram, make sure its 400 in the bios and not running at half that. Plus a lot of ram is at least CAS 2.5 and good ram will be 2 where system bios will often default to 3

Of course when overclocking and messing with ram make sure you read up on it and check out the manufacturers specs for that ram. Changing things like FSB can ruin PCI cards and things.
