If i plan on overclocking my processor using th FSB, should i add a hsf to my motherboard chipset. I have a VIA Apollo Pro133A Chipset. If so, what hsf should i purchase?

You usually do this if you're running your FSB out of specification. Of course, it's always nice to keep a cool chipset, so more power to you.

Blue orbs are specifically designed for this purpose (this and video chipset cooling), and they have been rated pretty well in the reviews I've read. You could also get a generic run of the mill socket 7 HS/F, or put a fan on top of the heatsink that is already there. No matter what method you use, you should replace the pad that is there right now.

Bon appetit.
