Actually, multiplier settings for the 2500+ should NOT be 11.5, rather it needs to be 11. When I try setting the multi on my 2800+ Barton higher than stock, then the CPU is defaulted back to some low number, think it's 1250MHz. All things being equal, you need to check to make sure you're using the stock multi of 11.
Also, you may want to double check the mobo to make sure the CMOS clear jumper is in the off position. Check your mobo manual for the proper jumper configuration for the CMOS clear function.
If you want to overclock to 3200+ speeds, then stick the multi back to 11, and set the FSB to 200. This will give you 2200 REAL MHz, the speed of the 3200+.
Also, keep in mind that all chips are not created equal, and that you MAY not be able to get 3200+ speeds out of that particular chip. First, make sure the CPU is correctly recognized at stock speeds, then worry about tinkering with it. Raising the FSB incrementally may help with stabilizing your overclock. Then, you get to figure out where and when you will need to apply additional core voltage, and you're going to want to make sure the temps don't get too high, ESPECIALLY since you are using the STOCK HSF {I hope you at least applied thermal compound to the HSF, and didn't just go with the pad they supply with them. If not, then you're better off grabbing up some AS3 or better and cleaning off the pad).
So try running it as a 2500+ first. Then let us know how that works out, and up the FSB SLOWLY.
