    Good day,
      
     I have an athlon thunderbird 1.2ghz processor and I'm
    looking forward to overclocking it. My plans are to
    buy a new motherboard that supports raising the core
    voltage, fsb or even the multiplier.

    I have looked at some stores selling motherboard for
    socketA(462) processors and found out that those new
    motherboards mostly have fsb of 400 mhz and supporting
    memory modules upto pc333-400mhz. Also with 8x agp
    slot.

    My question is, if I were to buy this kind motherboard
    with a specified FSB of let's say upto 400+mhz and I
    equiped it with let's say, PC333 DDR, and if I were to
    put an 8x video card to it, given that my processor
    can only run as much as 1.33 ghz(but only when
    overclocked), will I be able to gain anything with it?
     Or should I just stick to an old mobo with 4x agp and
    fsb of 133?

    Thanks a lot.
