    CPU/PCI clock

    I can change my FSB using the jumpers located on my motherboard. Now I'm enjoying this wonder. But lately I've noticed that in my BIOS there is this Host clock (CPU/PCI) settings which has a selection of FSB speed (ex: 100/33, 112/xx). Is this an alternative way to overclocked my CPU? Or should I adjust this also relative to my adjustments in the jumper settings?

    my mobo is an EP6VBA. my current overclocked setting using the jumper is 110X4.5.

    Correct. I belive there is a jumper setting to go "jumper free" and use the BIOS settings. You should read the mobo manual for the correct jumper settings.

    The BIOS menu:

    CPU Host Clock (CPU/PCI):
    Allows the external clock to be modified depending upon what FSB has been
    selected. Should not be used to clock processor faster than it was designed for.

    The default is Default.
    66MHz FSB options: Default, 66.8, 68.5, 75, and 83MHz.
    100MHz FSB options: Default, 100, 103, 112, and 133MHz.

    DRAM Clock Is:
    The item will synchronize/asynchronize DRAM operation clock.
    Host Clock: DRAM has same working clock with CPU host bus.
    2/3 Host: DRAM running with lower operation clock.

    My MObo manual doesnt tell anything about "jumper free" settings. This BIOS menu is only set to default.
