on the other hand, overclocking the cpu slightly, should be fine. i've considered it myself but being a major techno nerd if i do it i'll want to monitor temps and do the dangerous voltage adjust etc., i just haven't had time. in any case the speed increase from over clocking isn't that large. you definitely do want to make sure the cpu has a good heatsink and fan. there also shouldn't be a problem with slightly raising the bus speed, 10-20% might be doable, bud i'd be surprised and worried at 50%, which again would require good heat sinks on the chips involved, and as i've previously suggested might require beefing up the bypass capacitors. there have been reports of the bypass caps failing on overclocked ram for instance. the bypass caps provide the huge current surge needed when a bit changes state and the chips it's attached to have to be rapidly charged or discharged before the next clock cycle.
