My ocz pc3200 xtc will do 2-3-2-5 @ 200Mhz ,but won't clock using cas2 at anything over 200Mhz,have to change to cas2.5 to overclock it. What sort of volts should i be going up to as well ?

2.8-2.9 would be my max to start out with.

2.9V at all times but don't expect a lot when running CAS2

Is it Platinum or Gold memory?

It's gold.Is this because its 1gb sticks,harder to run tighter timings ? would you suggest running @ cas 2.5 with a higher clock or sticking with the tight timings on a divider @ 200Mhz

Thanks for the info guys

Thats exactly the case, I'd see where CAS2.5 got you, you may get nice clocks

Try to find the limits with different timings and then decide, it also depends on what your HTT(FSB) is and if you can run a divider easily.

Well after Minstadave kindly solved my divider problems yesterday

I'll see where i end up using cas2.5

Thanks again guys

case 2 wont go far depending on motherboard
my ocz would only run 200mhz @ case 2 on an intel p4c800
but on an athlon i can get them upto about 213, after that its case 2.5
