How to overclock AMD 2200+ (Vcore or FSB)?

I have AMD Atahlon XP 2200+ Thoroughbred-A

I want to overclock it. I know, I have to buy a new heatsink. I know
is dangerous...

I looked at overclockers.com but can't found exact info. about what I
need.

I found at cpudatabase.com the Vcore for overclocking, but my question
is:

Do I need ONLY to change the Vcore or I must change FSB too?

I have Mobo ASUS A7V8X-X and I can change all that settings in BIOS.

Thnaks in advance.

You probably don't need a new heatsink, the T'Bred A CPUs
were relatively poor overclockers and probably won't go over
about 1.8-2.0GHz, which is manageable with moderate room
temp with any halfway-decent 'sink, probably even the stock
'sink though I try to avoid the stock 'sink... you'd have to
try it and see.

You can change multipler or FSB, or both... considering how
basic your questions are you ought to Google some
overclocking tutorials, FAQ, primers, etc. Leave the memory
set synchronous to the FSB, so the determination of whether
to increase FSB depends on whether your memory can handle
it, stay stable. Your board doesn't have AGP or PCI locks
so you probably need to change multiplier instead, since
DDR266 to DDR333 FSB is a pretty big jump for a T'Bred-A
unless multiplier is also changed. Again, check some
overclocking tutorials, better safe than sorry since PCI
overclock can corrupt HDD data, and overclocking in general
can do same in addtion to damaging hardware.
 
Thanks, kony.
