ok so i dont fully understand overclocking... too much confusion with all these terms between AMD and Intel and SO many different chipset models.

if someone would be kind enough to explain... those online tutorials don't really help, they are either vague or too old.

i am going to a computer show tomorrow to find a dual socket 370 mobo.
i want 2xPIII 1GHz and support for 1gb pc133 SDRAM.
i want to try overclocking for the first time.

i currently have:
4x 256mb pc133 SDRAM
GeForce 2 GTS 32MB
Maxtor ATA100 pci controller
3Com pci ethernet card
Aureal SQ2500 pci sound card
56k ISA modem


for intel processors, the multipliers are locked, so you have to increase the FSB. im confused by all the different bus speeds.
if you raise FSB from 100 to 133mhz, u also raise pc100 to pc133?
then what happens to PCI bus speed? it becomes 66mhz? then what do you do
to divide it so it goes down to 33mhz? what about agp?
what does core clock have to do with this? my tiger-133 runs at 8khz or something...
i don't know what im saying, but i need get a clue about ocing!
