Ok this is my first ever attempt at overclocking.
My system:
Athlon 1333 (133)
Abit KT7A V1.3
512mb Cheap PC 133 Sdram
Radeon 64Mb DDR TIVO
Soundblaster 5.1 live
Lian Li Pc 60 case
Globwin Cak 88 HSF
300W PSU

So far I have managed 1466mhz by changing the multiplier to 11 (won't go any higher(won't post))
Or 1473mhz multiplyier @9.5 fsb @155mhz pci @38mhz.

First off which is better, secondly any tips to further increase this.

Ps I am using award bios and I have the latest version for my board

Wanna go higher?? up the voltage from 1.75 (Default) to 1.85.....

As for which is better??? 1473MHz which is 9.5 x 155 is faster than 1466 @ 133.....the more memory bandwidth u give the machine...the faster it is overall =)

yeah the bigger fsb helps you out, PLUS overclocks just a little higher in this case

Well then you may have reached the limit of your cooling or the cpu.

Overclocking with a Higher FSB gives better all round performance, but it has its issues due to the fsb also raising the speed of the ram, PCI, AGP and IDE devices.

My cpu temps seem to be fine before overclocking just running win2k was a constant 40c. After, it ran happily at around 43/44c this included upping the voltage to 1.85. I did manage to get the clock speed to almost 1.6 but it kept crashing(this was through fsb overclocking and changing the multiplier to 9.5). I couldn't get it to post over 11x, and if I altered the fsb when it was at 10x it would also not post, any more ideas would be greatful, I'm sure I could get more out of this system.

Ps I don't want to upgrade anything that is why I have started overclocking.
