Overclocking my AMD 3500+ System

Hi! I'm really new to overclocking and I wondered if anyone knew of a good guide to give me the basics. Thanks!

im gonna go out on a limb and say if you don't know what your doing then you shouldn't even bother. You are probably not even going to see any real world gains unless you have a hardcore overclockers mobo thats decked out with all kinds of options. I would just spend the money that you would have used on replacing destroyed parts on booze.

Look a few topics down, you'll find this

Also use this to find out what setting is best
(HTT, FSB, Mulitplier, etc)

Just make sure you only raise your FSB by 5 or 10 Mhz at a time.

FSB X CPU Multipler = Overall Mhz
The AMD 3500+ is like this

200 X 11 = 2200Mhz

Make sure to keep your HTT under 1000

FSB X HTT Multiplier = HTT

I'm kind of a noob myself, so just read the article and google more guides, theres a lot out there.

Make you learn about CMOS and jumpers in case of worse case scenario...
