I really don't know how to OC a CPU. :oops:
My computer:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton Socket A (1825Mhz 11X). I don't know the voltage, I guess ~1.45. It's stock voltage.
ASUS A7N8X-VM MainBoard
2x512 ( one kingston CL 2.5, the other Corsair Value Select CL 2.5)
400W Power Suply (No name)
Good ventilation

How much can I Overclock it and how? There are no BIOS Options (as far as I know). What software should I use?

Intel CPU of the last year or so overclock substantially farther than Amd chips.
That being said, most every chip will overclock 10 to 15% easily.
Start by increasing your fsb by 5MHz jumps and benchmark for stability.

I know Intel is better... :?

What CPU benchmark is better?
And what Overclocking software is best? I don't have any BIOS settings

Simple OC for barton 2500+. Raise your voltage to 1.7/1.725 (stock is 1.65) and raise the fsb to 200 which gives you an xp 3200+.

I can't modify the voltages from BIOS. Is there a program for windows for modifing the FSB? What is the best program?
