I'm not a overclocker and don't know if there is a best way. Keep in mind that changing the FSB also affects the RAM, PCI buss and CPU core. Any of these can cause stability problems. You can sometimes stabilize the CPU by raising the voltage, but that increases the heat and you run the risk of frying your CPU.

I do believe if I wanted to overclock, I would start by changing the multiplier. Just unlock your CPU first and make sure that your boards will let you play with the multipliers and FSB.

Good Luck
