    Hi guys!
    I have a vgn-fe21 with a T7200 cpu. I'm overclocking it with setfsb to squeeze some more power out of it. It overclocks very well, but I'm a little concerned because overclocking the fsb also increases ram frequency, PCI and PCI-E bus frequencies. I've googled for the subject but I haven't been able to find out what the consequences would be with an overclocked ram, PCI and PCI-E. In particular I'm concerned about PCI and PCI-E, because I have no idea if this could fry the the connected peripherals (the gpu?) or maybe the motherboard too. :eek:
    Do you know anything about this? It should be a common problem when using setfsb.
    Thanks
