Is it possible to overclock the FSB and not the PCI, I am using an MSI K7t266 PRO2-RU (KT266A chipset), and I have an AMD Athlon XP, 1600+. I currently have this running at the speed of a AMD Athlon xp 1700+ (1470MHz), using FSB overclock to 140MHz, one thing I would like to know is, is it possible to only overclock the FSB, because when I go though the BIOS, the only overclocking options clock The PCI at the same time. I am really only looking for a reason to this, as I am very inquisitive and I love learning new things (reason for building myself a new system - first one i built myself and it worked!!!).

Any answers are very much appreciated, and I would like to thank everyone who answered to my last thread about CPU temeratures!

Thanks
David
