Advice re: Duron 750 OC setup

[dietrologia]

Duron 750
Abit KT7A
128 megs PC133 memory
Soundblaster Live value
GeForce II 32mb agp
IBM deskstar 30 gig drive

Uhh... so I want to overclock this cpu. Given the proper cooling, blah, blah, blah... what advice would you give an OC beginner like me?

I've heard things about using pci v-cards rather than agp when overclocking etc.

Any tips or slaps upside the head greatly appreciated. FSB... voltages... multipliers...

I would like a very stable system running around 900+ and everything nice and speedy.

Running an AGP card in your system should be perfectly fine. You would be limiting yourself if you decided to go with a PCI card. If you have sufficient cooling, you will want to make the voltage 1.85 and the I/O voltage 3.4V. With your chip, you may want to lower the multiplier, and then raise the front bus speed. You may be able to just raise the FSB, but it may not work @133 for a 7.5X.

I have my Duron 750 running at 966 (7*138) on MSI Turbo (vcore 1.85). I can get 933 (7*133) at 1.77 volts. It wouldn't boot into Windows at 1000 (7.5*133).

Definitely connect L7's for a default vcore of 1.85; you can always lower the voltage in the bios but you'll probably need a vcore of 1.85 anyways.

I was going to try 112FSB x 9 for 1008MHz and see how that worked.

Did you mean to say the L2 bridges instead of L7? Or is the L2 to unlock the multiplier and the L7 is to take care of voltage adjustment?

Thanks for the responses.

Sorry, meant to say L1 bridges for the multiplier unlock.
