Overclocking with ASUS A8N-Sli & 4000+ San Diego Help Pls

[syfer]

As title, noob here!

I have recently upgraded my motherboard & CPU, my current system is as follows:

ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Skt 939
Athlon 64 4000+ With Zalman Copper Air
X850XT PE With Zalman Copper Air
2 x 1GB Crucial DDR400

Not sure the best way to go forward with this, I currently have the 4000+ running at 2.64 with ASUS bios set to 10% overclock.

My 3DMark 05 scores are about the same as my old ASUS P4GPLX & P4 2.8 running at 3.5

Could someone let me know what overclock settings I should be running with this board & CPU? I have seen people about running these chips at 2.9 & above on air cooling, is this possible with this setup?

Bit dissapointed with the upgrade so far....

Cheers.

You're best to do the overclocking manually, rather than letting the bios do it itself.

The board's good for 250+ FSB, and the RAM should run fine on a divider.

Have a lil play around, set the ram speed low, lock PCI etc and slowly increase the FSB to see how far it goes

Duh, sorry, that went straight over my head! Quite new to all this oc'ing. I managed to get my old P4 2.8 to 3.5 by using the ASUS auto settings.

So what does setting the ram low mean? I reduce it from 400mhz?

I presume locking PCI means setting it to 33.33?

Sorry for being completely useless.......
