I was just wondering, what is a safe setting to overclock my system bus to with a:

P4 2.0A GHz
Gigabyte 8IEXP (Intel 845e Chipset)
768 MB PC 2100 RAM (with no cooling)
ATi Radeon 9700 Pro

Please note that my RAM has no heatsink whatso ever, so what would be a safe setting to overclock my system bus at? And I do not want to damge ANY of my hardware.

Thanks!

2 @ 2.67ghz at 133fsb? Default voltage if possible. Lowest it can get it to be stable.

Man, I built a system for my friend around that chip, and told him I was pretty sure I'd be able to make it to 133 FSB. I even gave him the nice Crucial PC2700 RAM, and you know what? On retail cooling it maxed out at 119 MHz on an Abit BE-7. I was quite dissappointed, but I guess you win some, ya lose some.

Sorry, I'm a newbie. But when you overclock your system bus doesn't also over clock your ram speed from 266 MHz to whatever? sorry about the annoyance
