well.. right now my sn41g2v2 is at 400 fsb... i find it interesting that it says it only goes up to 333, but i can put it up to 250 (500) in the bios... anyways... i read that the biggest thing limiting it is the on board gpu.. so is it safe to run this at 200? or should i back it down to 166, and up the multi? or what would need extra cooling to make it better at 166+ fsb? better northbridge cooling?

i am doing 200 x 12 @ 1.7v right now but i am just playing with it and really don't know where i will end up using it..

thanks

Two things. One, the only going up to 166 refers to what it "officially supports". Two, that is only because of the IGP and I assume you are using an AGP card. With IGP, I never got above 185FSB stable, and that is higher than most. I hit 200 quite easily with my rev2.0 FN41 board, although it was the older 200W PSU. I even ran it with the IGP that high, but when I did anything Direct3d or OpenGL it would lock up HARD. Also, I know with the system utility they put out you can soft-modify some things... I don't think it will actually do over 200 as I remember that to be a hardware limitation... but the SN45G goes up to 250. Yes, 200 is safe, yes, the system will generally run at 200 without using the onboard video. I haven't heard of anyone with decent ram that couldn't get that after the rev2 boards came.
 
i am using the IGP.. and i have it at 200.. that is what i am asking about.. i even ran it at 210 when i was playing around some more last night.. i didn't have any problems.. but i wasn't using and direct 3d or openGL... i realize that i should be fine if i get an agp card,, but that is something i will wait on until i see a need for it..
 
those dozen comps are collecting dust... i am thinking of garage selling them for $25 - $50 each and making some $$$... i don't have the space to actually set them up to fold.. and the electric bill would probably be highly prohibitive
