My first foray into overclocking

OK, I'm playing around with overclocking for the first time and I had one pretty major question. When increasing my FSB I know that I should only do so in small increments so as to avoid destroying my processor. How do I do this? In my BIOS I have the option of setting the FSB to 100, 133, 166, or 200 MHz. That's it. I have an A7N8X Deluxe (Rev 1.xx with BIOS 1003) and a Mobile 2600+. Are my BIOS inadequate or is this done through a separate program rather than through the BIOS? Thanks for the help!

i dont know much about this board but you might want to look into a new bios that has a smaller stepping. the mobo is a big part of the overclock and it looks like that one wasnt really made for over clocking.
 
Theres an option in the bios to move up the FSB in 1mhz increments.

Are you sure that option's present in the A7N8X 1003 BIOS? I only see the 4 speeds I listed above as options.
 
all A7N8X have extensive overclocking options.
i believe one of the bios revisions is extremely good, forgot which one tho :\

Good deal. I'll have to take a closer look at my BIOS in the morning. Thanks.
