Ok,

so how much to you guys increase the FSB at a time when finding the FSB at which the machine will be stable?
 
You're question makes no sense. When you reach a stable point, you stop OCing. You can raise the voltage, but then you reach a temperature point. It's a ratio of FSB/Multiplier and Voltage. And the product is temperature.
 
I think my question does make sense.. i'm asking. When you start adjusting the FSB, by how much do you raise it by. I mean you obviously don't just up it to like 200MHz from 133MHz?

So i'm asking by how much would you up it at a time when you're checking for the FSB where it starts to get unstable
 
Just increace it by 5 mhz everytime untill its unstable then back off 5 mhz and increce 1 mhz untill its not stable. Now, up teh voltage as little as it will let you, then try to oc some more. Do that till you cant go any farther. Now, loosen your ram timings. Up it some more. Now, once your ram is maxed, lower the ratio of fsb:ram to 5:4 and crank up the mhz and voltage till the temps at load start reaching more than 62 celcius.

Ya happy now?
 
I usually do some big jumps in the beginning just to see if it can handle it, then when I think I'm close to the limit I start increasing it gradually. No sense in increasing your 2.4C (just an example) by 1 or 2 initially, cause you know it can handle everything up until ~ 2.8 and if it doesn't the just back off some.
 
Usually, just go up by 10mhz fsb until things get unstable, then back down by 2 at a time, and finally add or subtract that last 1 mhz at the stable point. Always seems to work for me.
 
I just slammed it at 250mhz and upped the volts til it was happy just to see what it could do. 1.6 volts held 250 stable, but I run it at 222 stock right now.
