ASFKAP,

I do like Future Mark's 3DMark2001SE as a benchmark to test your computer's 3-D Performance.

To get to the 3200+ speed you need to set your Multiplier to 11x and raise your FSB to 400Mhz. Before you do this, you will need to change your cooling for the CPU. The stock AMD 2500+ heatsink/fan will not cut it.

Your other option is to leave the multiplier at 12.5x and raise the FSB little by little to see how high you can get. If you can get between 175Mhz and 185Mhz you will see a good boost in performance. (Right now I am running my 2500+ at 12.5x with a 182Mhz FSB, 2.28Ghz but with serious cooling.)

Take Care,

Richard
