My Mom's PC has a Barton 3200 that came clocked at 200fsb. and I have a 2600 mobile barton that has seen 235fsb in it's OC days. So I believe it will run 200 on an NForce2 board (which also has pci and agp locks).

Actually I think The_OGS just meant that there wasn't a stock high clocked Athlon XP that utilized a 400 FSB as the 3200 was the fastest stock at 2.2Ghz...but I wasn't sure.

2.2Ghz was child's play for most of the Athlon XP Mobile chips.

I have an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton with 1 GB DDR 400 ram. I'm looking to overclock this as well, but I'm afraid I will end up damaging my processor due to high heat. What kind of heatsink/fan do you recommend? I'm on a limited budget and need something that is efficient and quiet.

On a different note, some overclocking guides say anything past 60*C is dangerous, and some say 48*C. Any thoughts on this?

Here's the specs:
