Re: A8V Deluxe new build performance

That's about right.
Have a look at the chart:
http://www.a1-electronics.net/AMD_Section/CPUs/AthlonXP_3200+_May03.shtml

You can set the Bios overclock to 10% and have a bit of performance
increase.
I have the 3500+ set to 10% overclock and it runs at 2433 MHz and is very
stable.
