changing fsb changes:Originally Posted by brad1138Â 
I see a lot of people just increasing the multiplier and not the FSB. You get much more performance if you increase the FSB as much as possible and then up the multiplier. Increasing the FSB also increases you memory speed. I increased my FSB from 200 to 240, which increased my memory from 1333MHz to 1600MHz (also my memory timings are much less than standard 1600 MHz memory). That brought my CPU MHz to 3840, then I increased my multiplier from 16 to 17 which took it to 4080 MHz. A comp at 240x17 (4080MHz) will be faster than one at 200 x 20.5 (4100MHz). Your memory may not be able to handle that much OC but you should definitely be able to get your FSB to somewhere between 210-230 MHz. I had to raise the voltage to 1.45 to get to the 4.1 GHz range. I can run it at 3960 MHz (18x220) with standard voltage (1.4)
I have a very inexpensive and OC unfriendly Motherboard (according to reviews I see about it). But I managed some quite good OCing (IMHO). I can run it at 230x18 (4140 MHz) but I think 17x240 is a better balance and it is working great.
Just my 2c

CPU speed
NB speed
memory speed
HTlink
HT Link should stay at 2000 with these chips
NB Speed should stay 2200-2600
Memory is tricky, and some DIMMs cannot OC
I would recommend multi OCing if you can, because it isolates your changes. having 200 fsb x20 is gonna perform the same the same as 250x16 if you adjust the rest of your settings to keep them the same. You can overclock with multipliers anything you can OC with FSB
