Change FSB, thats it?

[phoeneous]

EDIT:

I flashed my Award BIOS to the recent version from asus.com. Now I can see the entry that reads "FSB Frequency". I went from 100mhz to 101mhz. Since my clock multiplier jumper on mobo is at 10, this made my cpu clock 1010mhz. Pretty simple and makes sense. So is that it, did I just overclock? Do I just keep bumping up my fsb until I cant post? Do I need to adjust the clock multiplier and or vcore settings?

Mobo: Asus A7v
CPU: AMD Athlon 1ghz
Chipset: VIA KT133
Ram: 3 sticks of generic 128mb pc100 totalling 384

Anyone?

Here is a guide on Athlon overclocking. Make sure you understand what chip you have, what (if anything) it takes to unlock the multiplier, what your board is capable of (multiplier adjustment; voltage adjustment; modification to provide the foregoing), whether you can lock the PCI and AGP buses, voltage limits, and cooling. Remember, overclocking can burn out your processor. That said, it has never burned out one of my processors.

OC'ing is really that simple at lower levels. The difficulty comes as you get to the upper limits of the hardware, and their particular quirks begin to show. At that level, adjustment of the Bios is a must if you want stability. Back up all data that you ever want to see again, on CD, and have fun.

Normally the first 10mhz on the FSB are freebies, and need nothing special to attain. After that, better cooling, (if you have stock cooling), is something you should consider. With better cooling, and careful attention to temps, the next ten are not hard if you have top notch RAM. Do it 1-2 mhz at a time, and only raise the voltages when it's necessary for stability.

Good luck!
