    Looking to overclock using this setup,

    Seeing as the board takes 2100 memory

    What should I buy (mem wise), and what kind of results can I expect?

    Some pc2700 should be ok for it. Also if you want to run very tight timings on mem you can buy some pc3200 almost the same price as pc2700 anyways. And run it as tight as possible. The B series northwoods dont oc as well as the c series so I would not count on anythning higher than 3.1-3.2ghz. Sometimes ppl get lucky and can oc up to 3.6.

    Keep an eye on temps btw. It should not go over 60c when on full load or else your going to get instabilities.

    But it says int he manual, upto 2100 memory.

    Will the 3200 not just run at 2100, hence me wasting a lot of monie on something i cant use to its full capacity?
