Hi:
I am very new to this whole overclocking ordeal. My friend has helped me build a P4 1.6A Northwood with an Asus P4B266C motherboard. And some Samsung PC2700 DDR SDRAM is on the way (it is something like 333Mghz).
Anyway. my concern is how long my computer will last if i overclock versus how long it would last if i didn't change the FSB.
IF I increase the FSB then would my Pentium 4 Chip not last very long? Because if my P4 Chip will die (which I've never seen happen to any computer)... then I would not like to overclock. But if I can increase the FSB to like 133 to 150 and not have any effect on the longevity of my Chip, I would definitely do it. ^_^
Any opinions on this from the experts of overclocking... This is all very new to me and pretty cool.
Thanks
Jason
