I dont think that many of u have understood what I mean, I want to know why it is that they make it that you can not overclock the FSB without the PCI being included. Why is it that the manufacturers make it this way?

And I know I can overclock the chip via FSB, I already have! Up to 1470Mhz (speed of the 1700+ so now my BIOS thinks I have an XP 1700+!!! My main reason is that I am a speed junkie and always want more. No real need, just bragging! LOL My main reason for asking this is because I am trying to understand as much as I can about computers (I know it will never be everything, but enough to help my mates with their PC problems). I want to know basically why they 'lock' it that you can only overclock both at the same time and not seperate. I have an idea as to why, but want some confirmation.

I read in one of the threads ask as many questions as you like it's what the forums for! So this is what I'm doing.

Thanks again
David
