Hello all,

This is going to be my first attempt at overclocking. My system specs are below. Currently the default configuration on my 2200+ is 13.5*133=1800mhz. I'm aiming to OC to about 2000mhz. I'm thinking that since my ram is pc2700 and running at 166mhz it would be best to get my FSB up to 166 so I can have a 1:1 to ratio. I'm thinking something like 12*166=1992mhz. What do you guys think about this? Running at 166mhz would keep the PCI/AGP at 33/66mhz respectively correct? I'm planning on lowering the multiplier by .5 each time until I get down to 12. Then I'm going to bump up the FSB by single increments until I can safely get to 166. Is this all I need to do? Please let me know if theres anything I' missing. Thanks in advance and sorry for the n00bness on this subject.
 
Not sure why you would increment the multi down to 12. Just set it straight to 12. Normally I would tell you to drop the multi even lower and see how high you can get the fsb but you probably won't get much higher than 166. Maybe try to raise fsb to 172/34 or so.
 
Probably. I think you will be limited by your board rather than your ram or cpu.
