I'm overclocking an 1800+ T-bred B on a mobo that does not support PCI/AGP locking(A7V8X-X). I am wondering what PCI and AGP bus speeds are acceptable and where it starts getting dangerous (damaged cards/hard drives).

I remember back in the day of original pentium overclocks I used to run the pci bus at 41.5, is that ok? If not, what would be your limit?

If you set your cpu fsb at 150, your pci will run at 37 and your agp at 75. I've found this to be a fairly stable setting with the p4, and 145 fsb for the xp. But your mileage may vary. My 845pe board's onboard sound fails anytime I run the pci setting out of spec.
