Hi,
I just bought a new pc (2nd hand) from a friend.
£100 ($200) 2.8GHz pentium D (yes I know), 1 gB RAM, 6200LE 256mB GFX card 160gB HDD, 8 months old.

But to my problem:
The motherboard is the GA-8TRC410MNF, I've searched everywhere, it doesn't exist according to gigabyte's website, so I can't get support from them. What I want to do is overclock the CPU. BUT the BIOS area with the frequency is greyed out, any ideas? Do i need a different BIOS, is O/Cing impossible, please help,

a bit of google shows it was provided to packardbell from gigabyte.. so i woudnt count on any gigabyte bios's to allow ocing... you might get lucky with a pad mod if lga775 cpu or try pin modding.. sounds like your sol though, sorry. :(
