i am planning to build a new AMD based pc.
the specs are the following:
-FIC AD11 mobo (it's too sheap)
- micron crucial 256 mb pc2100 DDR
- GEFORCE PRO
-IBM deskstar GXP 60 40 GB
-DURON 750 mhz

i have a sblive and a pioneer 16X DVD and all the necessary other stuff.

so i wonna unlock my duron to overclock it. can i run it at 133mhz or + bus speed? or it has a limit? and how fast can it goes?
i have a peltier based water cooling with a 156 watt peltier . and i will buy an AMD approved power supply.
btw if u have any recommendation about my new pc it's welcomed. the specs aren't final yet.
thanks in advance.

everything looks ok-but id go with a duron 600 for cheaper than the 700(it will go just as high) and then use the extra cash for a different mobo. I dont think that one has the KT133a chipset only the kt133-which will not get a FSB of higher than 112? Just my 2c

Madnod, for what you are paying for the FIC AD11 and 700 duron, pricewatch has a Iwill KA266 w/ 750 Duron. It is a much better MOBO. Ask Skip, one of the moderators. He swears by it. (occasionally swears at it.)
Look into the Enermax 431watt PSU, it should handle the pelt.
