Am i doing this right?

I dont know If im doing the right thing here.
Look at my specs to see what mobo i have and so on..

I have a AMD Athlon Xp 2400+ , the "default" speeds for this CPU
is 133x15. Now i changed a jumper on my mobo (just for a test) and
changed it to 166/200 fsb . Now i have the possibility on running it
in higher FSB Speeds, so i changed the fsb to 200 (same as my Mems)
and lowered the multiplier to 10,

With the older jumper settings on the mobo (100/133) and the settings
changed to 10x200 i expert mode, the computer wouldn't start
Now when i have changed the jumpers it seems to work..(166/200)

The temperatures are following

Idle 41 Â°C
Just after quitting a game (for example hl2)
Around 50 - 55 Â°C

So,

Default 133x15 = 1995 Mhz
Now 200x10 = 2000 Mhz

Im just wondering if this is the right way to go..?
Are the temperatures right, and how does this affect the cpu?

My mobo have a Nforce 2 Ultra 400 chipset

Thanks

/Daniel

looks about right on the temps...and yes....upping the FSB and dropping the multiplier is the right way to do it
