Hi there, I see you have a Slot A chip and mobo like myself. You will need whats called a GoldFingers card in order to properly OC that cpu as it cant be done in the Bios. You can find these at places like www.highspeedpc.com. Thing is, these are like $50 and nowadays thats not really worth it to OC like 200mhz.

Still, if you have a recent 750 chip (mine starts with 230027) you should get 950 easy and maybe more if the mobo allows it. Mine aint so Im stuck 8^(.

You may also need to kick up the core voltage in the bios....or on the card itself. Best to leave the voltage switches on the GFD card alone and use the bios to adjust those settings.

Im doing 950 with stock voltage, you may do likewise or go to like 1.7v.

Do be careful taking that plastic casing off that chip tho.....it aint easy!!
