Overclock with PCI cards installed...?

[Elvis2]

I have a 1.4 gig 'bird w/Swifty MC462-A on an Asus A7V133 with Kingmax pc150 ram. I just installed an Enermax EG465P (431 watt)ps and want to crank this thing up! How far can I go on the fsb before I need to worry about running too much juice through the pci/agp busses?

Basically, you can go as far as the cards will let you, at which point, the system will either not boot, or will run unstable.
You can try increasing the FSB untill either of these problems occur, and then remove your cards to see if it fixes it. Then put them back one by one untill you find the culprit.
It is also easy to blame a failed OC attempt on the cards when it may be a lack of core voltage, or the CPU is just maxed out.
The best thing to do is experiment.
Good luck
