ok, i've looked around the forums, and it was hard to find the questions to my answers, so i decided to start a new topic.

my equipment: tbird 700, abit kt7raid, 350w enermax

(1) Am i able to o/c rev2 mushkin to 150mhz (i heard you can only squeeze out a few mhz b/c the fsb is double pumped, and becomes unstable)
(2) IF i o/c the fsb to that level, @ what level will my cpu be o/c'd

My goal is to get the cpu to 950 or more, the ram to 150, and the pci/agp/etc o/c'd up a little.

Thanks a lot!

ok, i guess i can bump the fsb to 115 safely? what effect would this have on the other components (cpu/ram/pci/agp)? is there another way to o/c the ram?
could somebody explain the 200mhz fsb to me? how does that work?

Unlock your Tbird and change the multiplier setting in Soft Menu 3. From what I know, the FSB and the memory bus of Athlon processors are independant to each other. If they were synchronous your ram would be running at 200Mhz. Try getting atleast 110FSB then adjust your mulipliers to get the 950Mhz. It won't be easy since the Tbird doesn't overclock as well as the duron. Get a good cooler or peltier kit if you can afford it.
