O/C'ing Bottleneck - Thanks

First, I'd like to thank all those who responded to my post yesterday.

I have another question/thought regarding OC'g:

Everyone wants to bump the multiplier on their CPU to improve performance but wouldn't you get better performance by setting your system to max stable FSB and then adjusting with multipler? Aren't the peripherals (video, ram, etc) the key to a faster system as current CPU are able to process data at such a great rate that they could bottleneck the rest of the system, possibly leading to instability/crashes?

Just a thought.
 
assuming your going AMD so you can clock fsb and multiplier, then yes, if you can run stable at a higher FSB, it will run faster than a clock using the multiplier... as you have implicated, it does stress components more such as pci cards etc... therefore to get stability at a high speed most people will opt to use a more conservative (but clocked) fsb and tweak a lil more with the multiplier...
 
shitz obviously never seen the kt133A chipset.
Most chips dont have trouble pushing 140fsb, and YES, you will see a much higher increase in speed in bus ocing than multiplier ocing.
kt133 chipsets aren't very FSB oc friendly though 🙁
