I just have one question for you all, and I would like to get a lot of responses/opinions on this, so PLEASE reply....

I've heard a lot of things about overclocking, some good, some bad, some that overclocking itself doesnt do anything. I just want to know the truth in all of this. Do you have to have the best of the best (mobo/fbs, vid card, memory, processor) to have a good overclocking speed? and does it even do anything?

I have heard that a mobo w/ 400 Mhz fsb and 133/ATA wouldnt really accomplish anything by OC'in it, but I've also heard that it would do a lot to OC it w/ a nice WC setup...I really do want to put WC in my system that I'm building, but I dont want to put in (i.e. waste money on WC setup) thats going to accomplish nothing.

Please set me straight with these rumors that I've heard, so I can get all this figured out.

Thank you
