How do I change the FSB speed on my P4 williamette1.5Ghz.? And What are AGP/PCI dividers? How and why would I change these? Will increasing the Front side bus give enough of a performance increase to notice or is it not worth changing? Will these changes raise the CPU temp. or should I be cooling something else in this case? Please, lots of details, thanks!!
