      Don't bother wasting all that money on a 3200+..

      Turn your 2800+ up a bit, 200x11 (2200mhz) for starters, and it will be the same thing. The 2800 is where it starts getting good, I would keep what you have.

      BTW it can go a lot farther than that, you will just have to see how much your board will allow.

        my 2500+ can do 200x10 speed or i believe that is 3000+ speed. but too hot. jsut need to wait till i lap that volcano 7+

        dont get new cpu, ur cpu is alrady pretty top line. just get a better coolking system and OC to 3200 + speed:thumb:

          Yeah dude the 2800 is fine, and to tell you the truth you won't see that much of a differance with the 3200, although we all know it is most certainly better. Just overclock if you want. You shouldn't even have to as your processor is very good. If you are that rich just buy a lot of good CD's, or DVD's, or pr0n, or something that will give you some good use :D

            3200 speed would be 200x11. 200x10 is only 2ghz.

                Yes it does...the settings for FSB are in your BIOS.

                  You have got to set it to Expert mode to change anything :)

                    i was wondering the same thing?? so you can put the 3200 in but you all are saying to just overclock the 2800.. well i guess my next question is how do you over clock?? and good sites that will walk you thru it?? also on the hp site it says my fsb is 333/400.. but i was told it was 233/333.. so what exactly is it??anyone know?? thanks

                      Would this PC of your's be a name brand one? :?:
                      As it seems to be the same class of mobo as the ASUS P4SD-LA which neither can I find on ASUS's website but I do know that the P4SD-LA is an OEM mobo made by ASUS for name brand PC manufacturers (HP is a big custumer of this board) and it doesn't come with any overclockin' options.

                          But after the last post made me realise that I missed this I was curious as to this ASUS A7N8X-LA mobo and I may learn something from it if jamieruthven replies. :shrug:
