The basic premise is that you are going to increase the fsb.
Since you have the famous Abit "softmenu"..it should be pretty easy...cuz you probably have 1mhz steps for the fsb...plus there probably arent any jumpers involved. So you first take it and change it to, say, 135mhz...which should put you at 947mhz
So that is the basic premise...BUT you have to remember when you turn up the fsb like that, you are also revving up the ram and the pci cards and the video card...soooooo a lot of it depends on the options in your bios as far as "dividers" and things like that....the more options it gives you the better...that way you can push the fsb but keep using a different "divider" to keep the pci clock and ram clock to workable speeds.
As you push the fsb, at some point it wont boot..so that means something is failing...could be the memory, could be vid card, could be a pci card, could be cpu....so you have to be a detective....or it could boot but not post into windows all the way etc. At that point you COULD bump up the cpu voltage, or ram voltage or video voltage etc....that gives you more fsb headroom, but also makes more heat.
You have a headstart cuz Abit is one of the best overclocking boards due to their stability plus the nice Bios.
Best thing to do is look for some reviews of that board...cuz they almost always do some overclocking in the review.
