How much are OC effecting the speed on the PCI and AGP Mhz?????

As topic says.

I am currently running my XP 1600+ on a 156 Mhz FSB. See spechs below.

How much are that effecting on my PCI cards and AGP card??

I am looking for a way to calculate this out, if there is any???


Cheers,

P.S My Danish are better😉
 
It really depends on what your pci/agp dividers are set at for your mobo. Your AGP is always 2x the PCI, so say you have your Pci divider at 1/4 then you are looking at 39Mhz for the PCI(which is a bit high, but should still work) and 78Mhz for the AGP. This would be an overclock to the PCI/AGP and might speed up the bus, but also might make a bit unstable. If your PCI divider is at 1/5, then your PCI is around 31.2Mhz which is closer to spec of 33Mhz, but it's an underclock and you might be losing speed over your bus. It's probably more stable here though than the aforementioned config.

The sweet spots are 133 and 166 cause it essentially doesn't alter your PCI/AGP bus and you are within spec this way.
 
Thanks for the fast replys.

Even when the PCI is running at 39 Mhz its still running flawless. So I guess this is the setting for me then.

Thanks again.
