Hi!

As I'm planning to buy new parts for my computer I have a couple of questions:

1. Should I buy a CPU that's running at 100MHzFSB or a CPU that's running at 133MHzFSB? (Just Intel...)

2. If I overclock a CPU, lets say Intel 800MHz 100FSB with 133MHzFSB I get a speed of 1064 theoretically, is that better than a slightly o/c 1000MHz with 133MHz, or is it worse? No matter of the price...

3. Is it better with a CPU that has a higher multiplier than a CPU with a lower even if you get the same MHz with o/c.

BTW, I know that AMD is better...
The questions above is not regarded to the motherboard, of course it is very important what mobo I have but it maybe is possible to answer these questions without thinking of the mobo.

Thanks In Advance!

Get a Pentium III 700E cC0, dont get an EB chip it wont OC near as good as an E. The E's are 100 FSB but run all day at 133 and beyond. My 700E runs very rock solid stable at 1000 mhz, 143FSB, 933mhz 133fsb is so easy its ment to be overclocked.
