Overclocking GA-K8N PRO w/ ATHLON 64 3200

A few tips on overclocking this setup using Easytune 4 would be
appreciated. The memory is 2 512 Kingston ddr400. The Easytune 4
instructions are mush, and I am having trouble deciding what to do. I
have done the easymode version, but am looking for a bit more oomph.
Dram setting is at 202 MHz. Is that correct? Why not at 400? System
bus at 202 as well. Are the two supposed to be the same?

You'd be better off trying the Nvidia System Utility for overclocking

ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/nForce/systemutility/nForce_system_utility_1.08.5.exe

You should be able to get the FSB to 220 MHz with ease. And, no, the
FSB/memory shoudln't be at 400, there's a difference between the
effective and actual speed of DDR memory.
