A turbo charger and some nitros oxide.

Seriously, what MB do you have? Some MBs have overclocking features on the board or in the bios. If yours does not, then you may not be able to do much.

I do not like it Tom you see,
I do not like green PCB.

you should be able to change the multiplier and increase the FSB, but it depends on your MB and BIOS...

:wink: Engineering is the science of making life simple, by making it more complicated.

Your motherboard has dipswitches on it for setting up the FSB. This will let you adjust the speed of the CPU. However, you might want to make sure your Memory is running at the same speed instead of pushing the frequency at 3:4 FSB:MEM.

SW1 is where you adjust the FSB. The manual has the combinations listed. If you lost your manual, you can DL it from <A HREF="http://www.giga-byte.com" target="_new">http://www.giga-byte.com</A>.

There is no sense in Overclockign your CPU via FSB Dip Switches on a KT133 based Chipset board, your just begging for instability.........you'll be lucky to get a FSB clock of 112MHz.......

Best thign to do is pencil in your L1 bridges and change your Multiplier from 10.0 to 11.0 or so.......possibly 12.5 even........
