Ok...I've been around on these forums for over a month now...and I finished my new comp (awhile ago), but it hasn't lost its virgenity so to speek. I decided it is time for me to overclock my monster and show it what it can do. I got a 1.33 AHJiA ( i think that is it) and the temp is in the 30's...idle is like 32 and load is up to 36 ( i believe) according to my MOBO. What should i start with overclocking wise to get my foot in the water to make me want more? Do i need to up my FSB? Or should i up the MULT? I got an IWILL KA266-R. Well thanks for the help in advance.

Drop your mulltiplier first and raise the FSB until you find your setups FSB limit. Once you know this, then you can start raising the multiplier and adjusting the FSB until you find your CPUs limit.

The fastest system may not be the one with the highest CPU speed. A little less CPU speed and a higher FSB may be faster.
