AK79D-1394 Multi above 12.5

I have this motherboard with a Barton XP-M 2500+. My DDR is rated at
333mhz max. Now my setup is running at 166 * 12.5 (2083MHZ) @ 1.45V
rock stable with a temp of 38C at full load wich is good. But the
bios don't allow me to choose higher multi than that. I know that you
can Bridge Mod CPU to get higher multi but I wonder if there's other
way to do that, I don't want to mess with modding....

You can only change the multiplier if you mod the L5
bridges. Instead you can overclock with the front side bus
speed. Just set your memory to stay at 166MHZ and change the
CPU FSB to whatever you want. Make sure you know how to
clear your CMOS if you run into trouble.

This is the very basics of overclocking. I have the
AK79D-400VN and an AMD 2500+ Barton @ 200MHz (3200+ speed)
but am running my cheap and crappy memory at 166MHz in dual
channel (won't do 200MHz in dual channel).

Yeah but I heard that if you run memory asynchrone from FSB the memory
performance is less than running synch so I'm not sure that this is a
good idea...

What I'll do is buy another DDR400 DIMM (Right Now I'm running 1*512
PC2700 and 1*512 PC3200) to get the bus at 200MHZ on mem and on FSB to
get higher speed.
