I've been reading the forum and noticing some of the different ways you all overclock. What is the best way to get the best performance? Do I change the fsb or multipliers? I've also noticed some peeps change voltages. What voltages do you change to get more performance?

The CPU performance is not effected one way or the other, MHZ are MHZ (only when referring to a single type of processor ofcorse). However, when you overclock your FSB you increase your ram and AGP speeds, so overall system performace will benifit more from FSB overclocking than Multiplyer overclocking.

to add to that, its also more dangerous to overclock via fsb cuz you have more risk of burning other things out other than your cpu. just a thought to keep in mind.....I fried my 2 day old geforce 3 this way
