Just be sure you have some descent cooling and your good to go, if you're new I would start out with first trying to up the multiplier some, and then you can experiment with a lower multiplier and a higher fsb.. earlier today I was running my 1.33GHZ @ 1.53GHZ with a FSB of 153 (multiplier 10X) .. to bad it wasn't that stable, when I got into windows halfway through the 3dmark test it locked up on me .. anyway, you'll notice when you're hardware can't handle it, it'll either lockup or it wont even boot.. In case of no booting you just gotta switch out a jumper (see manual) and leave it in a diff position for a couple of seconds and it'll boot back up just fine.. Good luck..
