Hey everyone .. this might sound like a trip through the stone age but, i followed the overclocking guide for Athlon 3000 + here and i think i did everything okay.

My problem is: any changes i make in the bios are never reflected when the boot sequence continues. it goes back to default when i check with wcpuid.

i have Barton core 3000+ (2.16Ghz - 166/33, socket A)
Asus A7v8x-x

i was under the impression that my mobo is in jumperfree mode by default, but i cant check that cause my manual sucks and i cant find the jumpers (for the jumper free mode) either.

Anyways any inoput would be greatly appreciated
Thanks !
