T-Bird overclocking idea..

[Clutz]

Hello all,
I have an 850 T-Bird on an MSI K7T Turbo w/ RAID, with 256MB PC133. I don't feel like messing with the bridges to lower the multiplier on my processor (mainly cause I'm a scardy cat); but I was wondering about another way of potentially overclocking the system.
What if instead of running the memory at FSB+PCI Clk, I set the memory to run at FSB, and then just overclocked the FSB up to 133MHz? Provided I could overclock the entire system that way (ie: I'm not sure the CPU will go to 8.5*133), would that method of overclocking be as effective as setting the 100/133 jumper to 133?

Thanks!

I overclocked a Celeron 750 in that way. It now runs at 133*7,5 (1GHz) without any problems. You need excellent cooling though, I don't know if the Thunderbird will go that high.
