I would tend to agree with the guy above. To even hope to acheive this you would have to tear out all of the components and do a pen and paper inventory serial numbers, part ref number for CPU, north bridge, south bridge, MB org mfg, etc. Plus someone correct me but didn't we have to drill to overclock these? or was that later in the early P4? I seem to remember tearing the cases off the slot 1 for something very small.
Don't know if you have a slot 1 or FCPGA, either way if you can upgrade the CPU, go to www.pricewatch.com., you can find them very cheap, around 30 bucks or less. I have a Dell xpst600, you can't overclocked them. Even though there is a way that you can, but is very bothersome. Too many steps. :?
1) eb's are tough to overclock (already at max 'official' fsb)
2) all (well every dell iv seen) DOES NOT SUPPORT OVERCLOCKING
3) that coppermine core maxes out at 950 usually for overclocking no matter what vcore and they only released a max speed variant at 1000, i own 3 of em
4) even at 1000 its not going to make apps run any better - it still has the same down points, bottle necks etc
buy a new pc! or get a 1000 off ebay

I am a college student on a very resticted budget. I have an older dell dimension 4100 Pentium 3 800mhz computer, which I would like to overclock.
First question: Does anyone know what motherboard is used in this box?
