heres the problem im going to overclock my p3 800mhz, but im going to make sure i know what im doing by testing out on my old pentium 166mhx mmx. I found an online manual (looks like the right one). the jumpers are missing 2 prongs where i was suppose to move it. Its a packard bell (piece of ****). what do you think, its either the worng manual (if so does anyone know where i can find one), or its protection agianst overclocking (those ********).

ive already got a new heatsink fan coming dual stacked with compound $15 from mwave for my p3.

i still would like to overclock my old mmx so the halflife server i run on it will load faster and to just make sure i got my **** together.

If it says the exact same thing on your mobo and in the manual, you should have the right manual. Maybe they just removed those things you have to move around to change the speed.

Anyway, you would prolly have more luck overclocking that P3! :)

yah but my parents arent very comfortable with me overclocking the computer so it would be good to give them good old hard evidence that i know what im doing.

I'm not sure if you'd be able to do much with a 166MMX anyway. From what I've heard and read though Packard Bell didn't go out of their way to make after market customization a possibility. They may very well have left those jumpers off on purpose. Hope you can find something out though...
