FSB or Mulitplier?

Which is the better way to go overclocking?
Which cause more heat?
Which is the most stable way to go?

So for a little overclock, from 1000 to around 1130, is it better to have...
7.5 x 150mhz
or
8.5 x 133mhz

From what I've read on these forums and some guides..
I would think the (8.5 x 133mhz) would be the best?
Am I right?

Thanks for any info you all can give me.... learning everyday thx to your help.

It really depends. The end result you are looking for is a faster multi x fsb = fastest clock speed. You just have to play around with the setting and try to get the fastest you can. But without ****ing anything in your system. Normally higher FSB = PCI problems. The main thing is to go as fast as you can, but it has to be stable. I myself would pick a higher multi, if my system and chip allowed it. Coz I just don't like to cook my system. A burned Tbird is a bad Tbird. :D

hehehe true.. no one wants a burned bird :)

Thanks for the fast reply...

I may need to do the pencil trick to change the multiplier..
I have a 1ghz t-bird... I don't know the code or anything on it.. I didn't know about that stuff when I bought it.. and from what I've read all the 1ghz t-birds need the pencil trick...

Higher FSB results in a better boost in performance than higher Clock Speed does.

I want to max my FSB without interupting any of my PCIs. What is teh highest known FSB reached WITHOUT interupting AGPs and PCIs???

There is no magic number every system is different its pretty much trial and error.
