Do you know of any good guide to overcloking P4's? I'd like a really complete guide that explains everything about FSB speeds, locking agp/pci bus things, what voltages I could try and how high I could go, both mem and cpu. I see all these threads about voltage this and memory speeeds and fsp speeds and it's all gtting kind of confusing to me.
I hope you can help me with this :)

there are a lot of variables... thats why there isnt really a guide to OCing... it all depends on the mobo you get, the memory, the cpu, the vid card, the hdd... get my drift ;)

i got all my info from these boards and over at asusboards ( now abxzone )... you have to spend some time on the bench...

keep reading!

I definately will :)

Could someone just give me some general guidelines to some keywords like:
memory voltage, cpu voltage, fsb, memory bus speed (if there is such a thing), dram ratios.. I'm just spurting out some words here that I'm curious about :)
What I'd like to know most of all is what the max voltage I should try, so I won't fry my brand new processor or anything.

This place has some nice info on overclocking. Read the AMD overclocking guide too, it gives some extra info on what all the things in the BIOS do and what they mean.
