first of all- if your board supoports it i think that upping the FSB is the way to go. But it seems that Durons need the multiplier unlocked. What u do is look at the chip and find the L1 bridges-they will not be connected, then use a pencil with a hard lead and carefull connect them 10-12 times, do not cross the bridges. use a magnifying glass to make sure its done correctly, if it is then when u go into BIOS you should be able to drop the multiplier an up the FSB(front side bus) ususally set at 100mhz default. if its a 750 then it is at 7.5x100-750, what to do is for a faster performance go to 6x133-800. But realistically with good cooling you should be able to run a FSB of 133 with the same 7.5 multiplier. 7.5x133-1000, and most durons are capable of more than that.
