I have the setup you're going to (Epox EP-8K5A2+ w/ 2500+ Barton).
I'm running PC3200 memory, so upping the FSB to 166MHz (333DDR) was no
problem. I'm at the max available multiplier for the 8K5A2+, 12.5, for an
effective speed of 2075MHz (reported as 2800+ by the BIOS) with no stability
problems. No voltage adjustments needed.
I may be wrong here, but if I weren't too lazy to do the "wire in the socket
holes" trick to raise the multiplier to 13 or 13.5, I'd *guess* it wouldn't
be a problem.
I base the *guess* on the fact that I have two other 2500+'s running at
11x200 in NForce2 motherboards, and I can't see why a KT333 chipset would be
bothered by a higher multiplier if the FSB stayed at 166MHz.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Ok, so i'm gonna buy a tray 2500xp as I already have a suitable cooler, will
I need to unlock the cpu on this board or did i read correctly on
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.over-clock.com" target="_blank">www.over-clock.com</a> AMD chips are now supplied unclocked? So that I can just
plug it in and twiddle.

hi

my aqzea (green) barton 2500 runs fully stable at 2400mhz with 1,8v vcore.

Are also on a KT333 chipset? Even if you are not, that's rather impressive
for air cooling.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
