its already running a 133 fsb. I have a 733 P3 and I can take it up to 145 fsb and have it post. It would be better to get a 100 fsb chip and run it at a 133 fsb. That way all the PCI, MEM, and AGP clocks are normal. I plan on getting a 700 or 750 p3 and taking it up to 133 fsb.

Since you are using an Intel manufactured board, you can only overclock using a program like SoftFSB, which limmits what you can do. So I would go ahead and try overclocking your FSB to maybe 150MHz, but if more voltage is needed you will need to do the pin trick to get it.
