How to overclock without changing FSB?

[KevDaMan]

is it possible to do this I have a p3 500 Katami with a
shuttle AV61main board can only hit 112fsb @ 560mhz
Or can this be done with a amd processor thinking of upgrading if this dont overclock

With locked multiplier Intel chips (like what you have), the only way to overclock them is by increasing the FSB. Sometimes you can do a mod to by-pass this on AMD chips, but for more details about that, post that question in the AMD CPU section. Actually, that's not a bad overclock for your chip, since it's very near the limit of what it can be run at anyway.

Hey Batboy, do you hate Katmais? Have you had bad experiences with them? Your ideas of top speed for them are very low...

Honestly they just dont do that well as a general rule everyonce in a while you will get a couple that do well but more often then not they just fall short way short of what most of us would call a good overclock.

Nathan, several years ago I had a P-II and it was a great CPU in it's day. But that's over now and they're history. I told Kev that a 560 overclock with a Katmai was a good overclock for that chip and I stand by that. I see you got 600 out of yours. Great, you have an even better overclock, congrats. But your dreaming if you think it'll do much more than that. Sure, I've seen some reach a little higher, but that's the exception and not the rule. I hope I didn't sound like I was knocking the Katmai, overclock what you got, if that's all you can afford. But rather was being bluntly honest and trying to give you good folks a reality check. Good luck! Tweak away! That's what overclocking is all about, squeezing every little bit out of your system.
