Another Newbie Question

Which would be better for overclocking on an EPoX 8K7A, a processor with a 100MHz fsb or one with a 133MHz fsb? I am thinking about getting a 1.3MHz processor, but I am not sure which would be best.
Thank you for your help...

If the stepping code is AXIA, I believe you will get good OC results with either the 1.3 or the 1.33. Both should be able to hit 1.5G with appropriate motherboard, memory and adequate cooling.

the FSB is how fast the motherboard is going to run the rest of your motherboard, IE, ram, video card, everything. So you will notice a big improvement between the 133fsb and 100fsb 1.3ghz cpu's. Its definitly worth geting the 133mhz fsb, unless you know your getting a good batch cpu like AXIA or AVIA, becuase they always overclock well. hope this helps.
