question...I have an athlon xp 2400...in wcpuid the system clock is at 133.64 Mhz with a multiplier of 15 resulting in a 2004.53 Mhz clock speed...this is default obv. I want to know if I could up the 133 to 166 and lower the multiplier to 12 resulting in approximately the same clock speed with no risk of overheating or anything. I don't want to OC it because if something happens I dont have the money to replace it atm. Will this increase temps or cause the cpu to work harder, or would it be the same as it is now since either way its running at 2Ghz?

I figured since my memory is 333Mhz It would be good to have the cpu the same if possible...TIA.

Also, would AMD consider this oc'ing the chip and void my warrenty?
 
Well, technically, even using thermal paste voids the AMD warranty. Don't worry about that aspect of it though. Although you are not really risking damaging the chip, you are still FSB overclocking, and AMD will not look kindly to this.
