Here's my system

T'Bred XP2100
EPoX 8RDA+
Corsair XMS2700C2
Zalman CNPS-6000 Cu

I'm new to overclocking and was wondering if it would significantly heat up my CPU to run the FSB @ 166MHz rather than the standard 133MHz for the processor. I'd be happy to bring the multiplier down from 13 to 10.5 (although I recently read something about 4 and 8 bit multipliers so can I do that?) so that it's still running at approx. standard clock speed. I'd just like to get the extra few hundred MB/s out of the RAM. Not so much interested in increasing clock speed past the standard at this point. Would I have to increase the voltage to do this O/C as well? Also, being rated as a 166MHz FSB board I assume there'll be no probs with PCI and AGP slots.

Thanx for your help :D

heat should be about the same.... so the only question is like you said if you can get the 10.5 multiplier...
Also the PCI bus is locked at 33mhz and you can control the AGP clockspeed from the bios on that board so that shouldn't be a problem whatever your clockspeed ends up being...
