Hello, I have an athlon 1700+ and a soyo K7V Dragon plus motherboard. I am going to overclock it, however I am not sure whether or not to increase the voltage, and if I were to increase it, I would have no idea how much. Any general help on this is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

You only need to increase it if you lose stability. Otherwise, you can leave it at the stock 1.75 volts, and just work on getting a stable setting with the FSB. Most people though, need to push it up to 1.85 volts for it to be stable at higher speeds.
