raising pci bandwith

i didnt have a pci bandwith issue yet, but i have a question:
if i rise the fsb, the pci bus is affected, too. but will it rise its bandwith? and is it useful or would it damage the soundcard / anything else? or better: how much would i have to rise the fsb to cause damage?

(btw: sorry for the many questions but my english skills are too limited to create some nice sentences

)

Do not overclock your pci bus. Pulsar's made to run at 33MHz, not 37MHz. I would not raise my pci bus frequency.

On my mobo, I can change CPU freq about 15% without speeding up the memory (which will stay at 133) or the pci bus. But I still run it at standard specs.

ok.. i read a bit about increasing the fsb, and it's even possible to damage the harddisks.
i guess i underestimated the risk a bit
