When overclocking what is the difference if any, when changing the FSB vs changing the Multiplier?

what do you mean? your cpu has a multiplier of 15 by default (133x15=2000mhz). i'm not sure what 8*15 is. 120mhz?Originally posted by silky62678
Oh ok, I changed the Multiplier in the bios to 8*15
so you overclocked it to a 2600+ then? 2.133ghz..Originally posted by silky62678
my bad 16*133

And to answer the P4 question, nobody has been able to unlock the P4 multipliers yet.

Well, either the second or third revision of my BIOS let me play with the multiplier. All the revisions since that (there has only been 2 or 3 since then) have it locked away. *shrug*

when you up your FSB your get better performance then if you just up the miltiplier, but when you up your FSB you can damage your cards in your PCI and AGP slots along with the CPU if you just up the multiplier your only endangering the cpu.
