Been toying just alittle with fsb and was wondering what if any effect moving the fsb around has on the cpu ie does it hurt to bump it up for awhile then turn it back down? p.s. Thanks to all for the help i've found here.

p3 866eb@903
asus cusl2-c
256/133 micron
IBM 7200/30gig (24241 on sandra)
voodoo3 2000 ( I know )

the fsb will bump up all of the devices in your computer such that things like your video card will also run faster *yay* but your only running a 866mhz at 903 so i would push it a little further it should be completely fine at this temperature using the stock fan that comes with it, but if you can get a p iii 800 up to 920 easily then your 866 should be able to do around 1ghz or just below although it may be a little unstable it should be just fine see how far you can push it if it doesnt work then just switch it back to the default
