Hey soulfly,the problem with my low o/c is known problem when using 2 stick of ProMos RAM in DFI nForce 4-4X chipset,there are one guy who have similiar problem like me (prob is 2:1 divider wont work,other than 1:1 divider not stable) in DFI forums and he also have almost identical spec like mine.

But I dont wanna buy new RAM,I wanna to upgrade gfx first,CPU second then RAM last.

I think my CPU is good enough for X1600XT,6800GS or even X1800XL.I got 9000 CPU score in Aquamark3 (that is 2000 points higher than my Pentium 4 2GHz o/c 3GHz!!) and around 4000 in 3DMark2005 CPU test

What RAM did you use?

Well,I suppose to buy a Sempron 2800 early on,bcoz this stupid DFI mobo is very picky when choosing memory.And I bet the BIOS engineeer of this board pick their nose a lot too.... now Im stuck at 1.89GHz and the divider wont work,it only works under 250HTT

If I buy a 2800 I supposed to get 2.16GHz now

The incompability issue is unable to use memory divider,cant overclock high and sometimes an unstable system.And the BIOS have trouble finding your correct RAM speed and timing,like mine DDR400 3.3.3.8 detected as DDR333 2.5.3.4.2

Look at DFI-Street website BEFORE buying any DFI related mobe for incompability issue and try to look around for recomended memory for sucess overclocking

Heres the link for the recomended memory for overclocking (and it said that Corsair is NOT RECOMENDED) http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24719

Stupid DFI! Albatron doesnt require any of these these,my P4 2GHz easily going up to 3GHz with stock cooling and using Kingston DDR266 memory!!

I trade my previous RAM (Corsair XMS3200 rev5.1) with TwinMos PC3200 and my mobo loves it! Heres my overclock with stock Vcore
