Hi Peter,
Just read through this thread and found that your system is rather
similar
to mine.
I've got an ASUS A7N8Xv2 deluxe with a 2800+ Barton, driven by an
Enermax
450W PSU.
With the aid of this NG - and after having DL'ed the bios v1007 for my
MB, I
managed to increase the speed of my Barton (until then reporting 2075MHz
with 'Motherboard
Monitor') to never-before-reached 2300MHz.
I changed the FSB to 200Mhz and the mulitplier to 11.5. To keep WinXP
stable
I had to increase VCore from default 1.65V to 1.80V.

lol, just keep cranking that baby up dude,
must seem terribly slow

( check the Mhz a 2800+ is supposed to run at

Andy,
I wish I could laugh as you!
Yesterday I put everything back as it was before. reason is, my WinXP never
kept stable - again and again revealing the 'bluescreen of death' with
varying messages of various incompatible drivers, driver settings,
parameters,....
I wish I knew WHAT causes these crashes of WinXP!
According to my MBM neither voltage nor temperature problems can be
responsible.
And if these crashes wouldn't always result in lost sectors and truncated
file entries, shooting up my xp completely....! Luckily I've got a very
recent partition-image of my XP partition, so I can re-import a working
configuration. But it costs a lot of time of waiting....

Do YOU know a possible solution (except for trashing my hardware! ??

MBM crashed my system so bad I had to remove it.

Sorry I missed thee,
2800xp is supposed to run at 2083 Mhz
I hear that without ubercooling thats as high as most Barton cores
can safely go -partly due to the big cache running at full 2 Ghz speed.

The 3200 runs at 2200Mhz just ~5% faster for the absolute best they make,
so even running this chip at its default should require good equipment.

You should soak up the advantage of having a great cpu by underclocking it
insignificantly to have a cool stable rock solid data secure rig.
2000Mhz would be a tiny underclock of optimum setup,
Id think to try to keep voltage way down below 1.75 unless your doing
benchmark drag-racing while running 2.5 Ghz

Im getting 2 or 3 isolated crashes with no disk corruption - a week no
matter how i clock my machine (I am torturing it to find a fix too..)
So I dont pity you
