OK, pretend its your own comp!
My first AMD chip! Ok, Is it really imperative that I OC a 1gb FSB? I can understand the multiplier, but why would the FSB need it running at such a high speed already?
RAM! 2 gig of OCZ platinum rev2 (4x 512m). I know it has to run in T2 and that the San Diego does support all 4 channels being PC400. What are some optimal timings for this RAM?

Is it imperative that you OC a 1ghz FSB? I say no, especially if your computer laughs at anything you throw at it, and it looks like it will handily. The only reason to do it is just because you can. I mean that system will easily be running any game that comes out for the next two or three years.
As far as memory timings go, I would try it's rated timings at 200 MHz, which in your case should be 2-2-2-5 timings. As you already know, you will have to run it at 2T due to using 4 sticks of ram.
As for overclocking, you'll want it. It's like cocaine once you start doing it. Every damn mhz matters, and when you have to back it off one or two (literally), you'll swear you can feel the difference.
I almost can't stand running at 2.8, because while 400mhz is not that huge of an overclock, it's just a tiny bit faster in everything. And perception is 3/4 reality (or whatever that quote is)
