I just was able to overclock my 1ghz AMD. I have the MIS K7T turbo pro M/B. I installed 3 PC133 128mb mem. chips and the stock H/S and fan. I set the FSB jumper on the M/B to 266mhz (133x2) and was able to get 1333 mhz stable and heat in spec, so far so good on stability. It does not like overclocking by BIOS though, I was shutdown at 1110mhz. Check to see if you have a FSB jumper, try it, but be sure to check heat, it is the overclockers worst nightmare. Good Luck

Your tbird is overclockable. How easily? Depends on the L1 Bridges...motherboard...current temps...all that fun stuff.
welcome to the forum.
as far as looking at it.. you can check the code on the processor and see if it's an axia, avia, azia, or what. you can also check the l1 bridges. if they're closed then it just makes your job a little easier.
does it really matter, though? just try and see how high you can get it. read this board a lot and youll find out most of what you want to know from other people's posts. your motherboard is fine, btw. read up, and post again if you get really stuck.
good luck. :)
devilfire..cool that tbird before you lose it!
