Check my RAM Speed

OK, I'm running:

Asus A7N8X Deluxe
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ Thoroughbread-B
512 Dual Channel DDR400

Core Speed 2081 MHz
Multiplier x12.5
FSB 166 MHz
CPU Voltage 1.65

If your RAM is set to SPD, probably 200MHz.

If your RAM speed is 100%, then 166MHz

If your RAM speed is set to x%, then it's x * 1.66MHz.

I would set the memory timings manually and set the speed to 100% of FSB.

Memory Module Properties
Module Name Kingmax MPXB62D-38KT3R-PEA
Serial Number None
Module Size 256 MB (1 rows, 4 banks)
Module Type Unbuffered
Memory Type DDR SDRAM
Memory Speed PC3200 (200 MHz)
Module Width 64 bit
Module Voltage SSTL 2.5
Error Detection Method None
Refresh Rate Reduced (7.8 us), Self-Refresh
Highest CAS Latency 2.5 (5.0 ns @ 200 MHz)
2nd Highest CAS Latency 2.0 (7.5 ns @ 133 MHz)

So I guess it's running at 200 MHz??

That look like it's SPD info... which is basically text stored in a chip,
and doesn't actually relate to the current settings. I could be wrong, I've
never used that program, just pointing out that it might not be what you
think it is.

PS
If your XP2600 is a 166/333 CPU then that RAM should be run at 166/166
with the FSB?

Looks like it.Shouldn't it be @ 133(266)?

No, it can run fine on 200MHz, DDR400. I'm unsure about it having any
advantage though. Might depend on rams latency and number & config of
ram sticks. Higher memorybus could reduce latency. My own experiments
hint's that DDR333 CL2 seem to be somewhat faster than DDR400 CL2.5
though. At least on 333FSB, two symmetrical DIMMs and dualchannel.

Well this is what I'm running now:

Core Speed: 2088 MHz
Multiplier: x10.0
FSB: 208.8 MHz
BUS Speed: 417.6 MHz
CPU Voltage: 1.696v

Memory running @ 100% of FSB, so RAM is running @ 208.8 MHz

CPU running at 41 Degrees Cel. Under normal usage/49 Degrees under heavy
load
MB running at 23 Degrees Cel. Under Normal usage/25 Degrees under heavy load

Is this ok??

I thought your RAM was capable of running at 166/333 speed?

Well, does the increased bandwidth affect your performance so much it
justifies so hard overclocking of the FSB? You are overclocking the
cpus FSB hard, but core, chipset and ram moderately.

I'm not an expert on overclocking, I avoid it myself. But if you're
looking for best performance, I doubt it should be so unbalanced?
But someone more experienced with OC should comment this.
Temps are ok.

Nominal for your system is: (on the off chance you're asking )
166 FSBclock, multiplier 11.5, 100%, DDR333 CASL 2 or 2.5 (there's a
good chance PC3200 CL2.5 will work fine with CL2 on DDR333).
That's how I would (meekly ) do it.

You can run the memorybus above 100% (and that was primarily what I
was thinking about) but I'm almost sure it's not a good idea with
dualchannel and reasonable DIMMs.
