Overclocking help?

[1stPersonTooter]

I need some advice on overclocking a 2.6 P4. I plan to overhaul my current system in a couple months to a AMD A64, and I'd like to get the most out of CPU before it gets trashed. I have never overclocked anything before, ever. I have a 2.6 P4, 1 Gig Corsair Value Ram, and a Geforce 6600GT. It's all in a Aopen AX4C MAX motherboard with Pheonix BIOS. I want to push them all to their stable limits. With your help of course

I'm in a power wheelchair so I cannot get into my case if I need too, But I'm still very interested in overclocking this piece of junk.

Here is what the BIOS Voltage and Frequency screen looks like:

CPU Bus Frequency 200 X 13.00 = 2.6 GHz
AGP Bus Frequency 200 X 03.00 = 66.67 MHz
DDR Bus Frequency 200 X AUTO = DDR400

Clock Speed Spectrum - Off
CPU voltage setting 1.525 (Default)
AGP voltage setting 1.5
DDR voltage setting AUTO

I have no idea what to do or where to begin.

Start by searching for overclocking FAQs or Guides, there are tons of them out there.

Has anyone overclocked on this board?

havnt OC'd that particular board...but make sure if u can that you lock the pci/agp frequency....and then give a bump (.25 to .50) in voltage, and gradually increase fsb....

You'll want to bump the voltage up in .025 or .050 increments. I think EXar just did a typo.

So keep the AGP & PCI Frequency and Voltage at default, increase CPU & RAM Voltage by .025 - .05, then gradually increase the FSB? Is there a good program to stess test the system to make sure its stable?
