Just got my first AMD system...question about unlocking/overclocking...

[BlueWeasel]

I have been an Intel guy but finally made the switch to AMD. I am familar with overclocking Intel (celeron, P3), but AMD is a little new to me.

I recently upgraded to the following and will be in the process of building in the next few days..

Epox 8RDA Nforce2 board
XP 2000+ (AGOIA core, week 17 I think)
PC3200 (DDR400) 256mb x 2

I have searched for a beginner's guide to unlocking/overclocking the XP, but haven't really found anything yet. Any suggestions?

Also, which would be the best way to once it's unlocked? I know my Epox locks both the PCI and AGP bus, so bump that puppy up to 166FSB with a lower mulitiplier and see how it goes?

Any other suggestions, advice, etc....feel free to throw it my way

One way is to make a connection between the 5th bridge on the L3 side. You have to kinda do a "horseshoe" to avoid the laser lock AMD added in between the two. You might Google it. Don't have a link. Sorry.
