i have a P3 @450MHz with FSB 100MHz with pc100 RAM

what should i change my "System/PCI FREQUENCY (MHz)" or, "CPU HOST/PCI CLOCK" to....

can this POS even be occ'd?

depends on what motherboard you have.......

But, yes, PCI clock frequency......

i have figured out what to use, 124FSB @558MHz

not much of a oc, but i'd say it's nice and stable

now i have another question......

what is the point of raising the voltage in the BIOS?

there's a little switch in the back of my box that's lets me switch between 115V and a higher volt. what's up with that? i think it has to do with the fan... i'm not sure

Ok when it gets very unstable most people wil try and bump the VCore to get it stable giving the CPU more power. The switch on the back of your power supply I wouldn't mess with that its for people in other contries that don't use 120V lines in a house. Ha ve fun with that Overclock and fon't let those temps get to high. FYI I try and keep mine at or below 90ºF I really never like seeing mine go past 80ºF

ah i see...hehe

ok, now that i understand the Volt setting, i have another question to ask.

when i set my FSB to 133mhz my comp boots.....but hangs at the windows logo screen, would bumping up voltage help?

i prolly shouldnt be occing so high anyways until i get a better heatsink and fan coz right now my temp is at 35-40 C (when idle) and 40-45 C (when not idle)..... is this a dangerous temp?

Better heatsink and I would try booting on the 134 or 135 bus I think there should be on your board then once in windows lower the bus using SoftFSB
