Ram overclocking. What can it be tightened to?

You might get 2.5-3-3-7 @ 200MHz but theres no guarantee... I doubt 180 v 200 would give you much difference in achievable timings tho and any performance difference would be less than 1%... main thing is to get the CAS latency off 3 if possible, the difference between 2 and 2.5 again isn't huge and you'd prolly have to drop down to about 150 to get to 2, but both 2 and 2.5 should give quite a bit better performance than 3...
as always test rigourously with memtest86+
could you tell us exactly what modules these are? I'm assuming from the SPD that they are Kingston PC3200 value RAM... but possible its high performance stuff with a loose SPD for compatibility... if it was hyper-x stuff they give lovely overclocks, if its value ram its a different story some will OC quite well and others won't even go 5MHz or less than 3-3-3-8 @ 200MHz.

to be honest im not sure about these sticks, as you can see there quite old. when they was new they was top dog back in the day.
iv fitted copper heat spreader things on them, and allso iv got them down to CAS 2 at 3-3-8, im thinking of trying 3-3-7.
allso does changing timings from 2T to 1T do a lot of difference? thanks
