Well, since it seems to be of interest, I'll keep the thread going on-list for now, until I get any grief letting me know to do otherwise.
The only jumpers on the board are to set the clock multiplier. This is to set the frequency of the CPU as a multiple of the FSB speed, e.g. 100MHz FSB x 5x Multiplier = 500MHz CPU. However, this is apparently only needed for PII CPUs, as the PIII is allegedly fixed. Thus, the only way to overclock one is to adjust the FSB speed upwards, thereby increasing CPU speed through its fixed multiplier setting. The mobo is supposed to detect this and configure itself appropriately. Just to be sure, I have set the jumpers to 5x, thereby setting it up for 667MHz at 133MHz FSB.
Bye for now, Stuart.
Stuart, You may have already found your answer, but I think I should tell you I misstated what I meant. I should have said 'dip switch' instead of 'jumper'. This may be of no use to you, but it may also help. Let us know how things turn out. Steve
