Not sure about you Mobo, read the manual.Jumper or BIOS settings. I have a Jetway Mobo, had the 500 up to 560 NO problemfsb @ 112 c/v 2.8 mult 5.0. I had it up to 600 but not very stable. You will need to watch you temps also. If you can try mult @ 5.5 then go from their. Remember TEMPS. Good Luck

You're going to want to look for these settings in your motherboard's manual (if you dont have one, get it from the company's web site):

Front Side Bus Speed: 66-? MHz
Multiplier: 2x-5.5x
CPU Core Voltage: 2.2-3.5v

Your CPU speed is your FSB multiplied by the multiplier (duh). Ex. 500 MHz = 100x5 usually. You want to step up your overall CPU speed in small steps (e.g. try 525 MHz next, 95x5.5). Change the jumpers for the CPU parameters, and get into Windows and try to run some CPU-intensive apps (3DMark, Sisoft Sandra, Prime95). If your box crashes or bluescreens, up the CPU core voltage in small increments until it crashes no more. Watch your CPU temps too. CPU temp is an amalgam of the degree of cooling, core voltage, and CPU usage. Keep them in a reasonable (i.e. below 50 C) range. Hope this helps. See articles on the front page if you have more questions.
