OC XP-M 2400+ & PSU question

[Jinru]

i just recently got my hands on a xp-m which is replacing my locked barton 2500+ and i want to take my first shot at overclocking! i understand the basics but i'm still alittle confused about the cpu/ram ratio. it was able to pull something like 212x11 OC, would i still be able to keep it at a 1:1 ratio with a pc-3200?

Abit NF7-sv2
XP-M 24000+ w/ thermaltake valcanoe 7+
2x256 corsair xms pc-3200
WD 80gb HD
Radeon 9600xt

and about the PSU, i plan on replacing my current thermaltake 430w power supply that came with the case, the 12v rail is only 13a, would that effect my OC performance :amazed: ? i'm looking at getting one of these two (tight budget) and want to know what you guys think.

corsair xms is very good ocing ram, well its ok. what is the latency on your sticks?

i would go with the sparkle power supply. I've read nothing but good things about them. 13A on the 12V rail definately isn't good enough. Good move on the upgrade.

it's recommended to do 2-3-3-6 T1 at 400mhz
