I have dual P3 Tualatins at 1.26GHz (not oc'd yet;)) I used some ASII, but I think I used too much. Under full load, MBM5 reads one cpu at 39 deg and the other at 37 degrees celcius. I am not possitive I have MBM5 setup correctly, but the temps seem like the would be for the 2 cpus. Are the temps ok?

You say I have great temps, but you get about the same temps as me as yours are oc'd roughly 250MHz. Explain.

2 CPU systems almost always have a 'hotter' CPU, so that should explain the different temps. For Intel chips, specially the T's, they do not really 'heat up' when you overclock them. The change in temps is gradual and slow, 250MHz is not a big deal. Also the temps vary more when you feed more voltage to the CPU. This IS the cause of most of the extra heat.

My VCore is the same, so 200mhz makes no real diff. on the 13m process. If I were to go to 133mhz fsb, I would get the same temps (I have tried it).

waht do you think is the best way to oc these cpus...fsb or multiplier? Say if I wanted to reach 1.5GHz and I wanted it to be as stable as it would be as if I didnt overclock them, what would be the best way?

The Intel CPU's are Multiplier locked ( they have been for a long time) your only option is to OC it via FSB.

Actually, I am able to change the multiplier, or atleast I can in the bios, not sure if it means anything.

I doubt, sure the option may be there but if you were to use it, it wouldn't work. Front Side bus OC is best due to weak mem scores at 133mhz fsb.
