Compaq is a branded computer and branded computers are notorious to being a pain in the butt when it comes to overclocking. They use their own sets of board which dont allow to change the FSB.

Look around the CPU area for jumpers and try in the manual.

The only way you change it on the old computers are mainly jumpers.

Hi SecretMan, welcome to the Forum,
I suppose that without jumper settings available or parameter into the Bios to manage the Fsb, the only way to OverClock your Cpu is using the program SoftFSB or CpuFsb (http://members.tripod.de/podien/).

I hope it helps you ;)

[SecretMan]

Try to use Sisoft Sandra (http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/sandra) to get more info about your system, and especially on the Mobo.

I hope it helps you ;)

[The Doors]

Well, on the Compaq website...
what's the Serial Number or Model of your PC?

[Yodums]

Look around the page Compaq should have a specific page where they give model numbers and bios updates and I believe HP does the same thing since I've seen them make bios.

J.P we wanna give you all the support possible, but you have to specify what kind of Compaq are you using.
is it a Desktop? and what series? Deskpro6000 233Mmx?

[SecretMan]

my computer is a compaq 4528 desktop, 233 mmx 32 mg ram update to 128 3.2 gig hdd and a viper v550 and s d-link network card.

my default bios is phoneix i will check for the number and version
àtank's a lot !!

If you can figure out how to overclock a Compaq, then you'll be one of the few that ever did. Those things are pretty much a lost cause as far as overclocking goes.

[SecretMan]

Standard mainboard
Intel 430VX PCI Chipset
PCI V 2.10

my present is

Phoenix and date of 1997

Thanks for your info SecretMan ;)
take a look on this page (http://web14.compaq.com/falco/sp_list.asp) for all the Drivers & downloads available, specifying your model: Compaq Presario 4500 series, Model 4528.

This is the RomPaq page for your system (here (http://web14.compaq.com/falco/sp_syn.asp?detail=yes&recid=SP6360)), and this is the file...

[SecretMan]

[The Doors]

What's happen SecretMan?
The Bios upgrade is right, but no overclock settings available, I'm right?

[SecretMan]

im not able to set multiplicator and voltage. for now i just want to get the cpu speed,

whit my p2-300 i just can get 200 mhz max at 100 mhz and not allways load i get 133 at 66 and 166 at 83 . why my mobo can set to the right speed and why my multiplicator and voltage setup not work???

J.P.

[The Doors]

I'm sorry SecretMan, but I suppose that you're loosing your time, especially considering the posssible performance gains of a P233, so plan to go with a new system with a Celeron and a good Mobo like an Abit or Asus, used for affordable prices ;)

[SecretMan]

i know, tank's a lot for the support.
it just was for add an computer to my net work but a 233 is not can follow the other.
