Overclocking Help needed.

[Novasan]

I am new to overclocking and hope someone here could help. I have: KK-266 MotherBoard, AMD 1.2GHz 266 processor, Mushkin Rev3 2,2,2 128MB RAM, Ultra 160 SCSI IBM Drive, LSI Ultra160 SCSI Controler, NoiseControl Silverado Heatsink.

Is the best way to overclock using multiplier or increase FSB?
Do I need to have floppy, DVD, Video cards all overclock also?

I planned on increasing the FSB to 150MHz which I have been told the CPU, Motherboard, and RAM will support. Not sure if this is best or if the other peripherals need to run at 150MHz also.

I would appreciate any/all help. Thanks in advance.

a combination

first you might want to just overclock the multiplier and try to find the limit of the cpu, then you can use that limit and decide how much fsb and how much multiplier you want to use.

for me personally i rarely increase the fsb more then 138 cause i dont like to get my pci to far out of spec, as you probably know the hard drive is also on the pci bus and ive had a couple hard drives fail in the past that were on highly overclocked busses

i didnt notice the bottom of your post

your pci and agp are a fraction of the fsb
basically pci is designed to run at 33mhz and agp 66mhz
your board runs them at 1/4th and 1/2 fsb
so if you increase the fsb to 150mhz your pci bus is going to be running at 38mhz (some cards/hard drives have no problem with that, others will)

Go for the bus overclock. Overall I think it provides the best performance.
