ABIT AT7 & athlonXP 2400+ overclock question

[hclarkjr]

i have the above mentioned combo running right now at default settings and want to experiment with overclocking the FSB a little to see what i can do with it. in the bios there is no 2400+ setting for my chip, i had to set the setting at greater than 2100+ and reboot and let it find the 2400+ on it's own, which it did. my question is if i mess with the FSB setting will lt mess it up finding the 2400+ multiplier setting? also, how much of an overclock can i expect? i am hoping to take it too 166 FSB to match my PC2700 memory, is that to hopefull? i have the standard heatsink fan that come with the chip installed but have the case off and keep the room at 68 or so, heat will not be a problem. i also run CPUIDLE extreme to keep the temps down too. thank you to all that reply!!!

The multi won't change so up the FSB to where you're comfy with the Temps. My guess is it'll go @ 152FSB or there abouts.

Well, my XP 2400 does 205mhz fsb, but I have an nForce2 board, with pci & agp locks. Do you have any idea whether your board has locks? I would bet, though, that since it's an Abit, it definitely has dividers for 166fsb. I would just go directly to 166, and see what happens.
