I've seen people who posted screenshots of some software that allows you to change your FSB from within WinXP on-the-fly, but now that I actually want to try it, I can't find the name of the thing! Can someone post a link or give me the name of it? I have a P5B-Deluxe if that matters.

Thanks!
 
clockgen? systool?
 
You can change FSB on the fly in windows, but be careful as you may over-do it and go beyond what your current voltage settings are supporting. I still recommend if you plan on overclocking/adjusting your FSB, to do it in BIOS. Unless you want to do a manual version of EIST/C1E (i.e. slow the FSB down...eist/c1e usually adjust bios and dividers to slow the CPU down) to save power and keep idle temps down for 2D/Internet/Word Processor mode.

I did it with my old system, and still found I liked changing settings in BIOS better. On my old board I could even change voltages in windows (Abit AS8 w/Uguru chip), if I am remembering correctly, was kind of cool..but the program was buggy at best. Systool and Clockgen both work well, though I preferred Systool for what I was using it for.
 
If you have older hardware you could get away with using CPUCool.
 
you have a p5b-dlx,as do i.why cant you do it in the bios? otherwise use systool,it has an option for the right clockgen ic for our board.
 
Thanks for the suggestions, all. SetFSBu_P5Bdeluxe is what I wanted and it has commandline options as well.

@tigger69: I usually do but I want a way to go between several settings on-the-fly.
