Basic CPU clocking BIOs question

OK, Im sorta a newbie when it comes to BIOs settings. So I have this old lanparty pro875b motherboard. Right now it has a P4 2.4 GHz in it.

It spec'ed out to run at 533 -800 MHz FSB the CPU clock setting for this would be 133-200 correct?

133 x 4 for the 533 2.4 GHz
200 x 4 for the 800 3.2 GHz

does this sound right? So if i put in the 3.2 GHz I would change the clock speed setting to 200?

Also I understand the different speeds for memory:

DDR266, 133, PC2100
DDR400, 200, PC3200

But is there a setting I need to adjust in the BIOs for which ever I decide to run?

Thanks in advance for any help ^^

Read overclocking guides!
Google them, or read the the guide up here.

Most are simular in the the way its written.

But ur missing 1 important thing in overclocking...


Fine tuning voltage.

I'm not trying to over clock o_O

I want to make sure I have the correct clocking speed set for my 2.4 GHz CPU and what the correct clocking speed is for a 3.2 GHz 800 FSB CPU if i was to upgrade to it.

Right now i have 133 set for CPU clock on my 2.4. Is this correct?

If I upgrade to 3.2 800 MHz fsb CPU to I set it to 200?

If I was to also upgrade to the PC3200 memory to be consistant with the 800 FSB is there anything I need to change in the BIOs?

I'm not trying to over cock.

Thnxz
