What do you mean"dangerous"? If yer not overvolting too much, about the worst that will happen is data loss. If yer using pretty decent hardware it would be hard to actually hurt any components. Just watch yer temps very closely, bump yer voltage gently and let'er rip!! :)

You can't change the multiplier anyway so it's not like you have an option. Changing to an proper divider is the safest route if possible... like a 600E from 100fsb (1/3 divider) to 133 fsb will give you 800 and components will be fine due to the 1/4 divider. It's the "in-between" ones you have to worry about, but as long as you don't stray to far from the 33 (like over 40) you should be OK...

Tunis5000 was talkin' Intel. You are obviously talkin' AMD. Either way, sensible voltage, watch yer temps, as easy on PCI as ya can make it and you'll be O'TAY!

I would imagine one prob would be ram. What kinda PSU ya got? Any help beyond extreme generalities from me will be next to nil. I haven't had an AMD since my 486 100DX quite a few years ago. Although, for a 486 that was one sweet old chip :) You'll get lotsa help here and remember to use the search. Oft times what a person asks, has been asked and answered recently.

Na i read alot of forum from various place but havn't seen any replies to no booting
the only explaination that i read is that the pro2a mobo supply default voltage when u are starting up so there ain't enough juice to jump start the sucker
oh yeah

I thought that when you clock the FSB higher it would run the ISA/PCI/AGP slots at a higher speed also.
Me? Fail English? That's unpossible!

It sometimes does but it depends on the fsb speed and the divider, like I explained in my first post in this thread (3rd one down).
