Welcome to the forums! First off, you need to go to the main page, go into the "Tips and Techniques" section, and read the beginner guide. I know how easy it is to want to jump right in and get interactive help, but if you come into the forums with that base knowledge in mind, it would help us to help you.

If you have the mainboard manual, look for some jumpers that will regulate the FSB (or if it's a DX model, the multiplier, or both). If you don't, look at the motherboard for settings that would change the operating frequency of the processor or multiplier (try looking for something saying how to adjust the jumpers for a higher speed processor). Keep in mind that this is a 486, and you won't be able to get 100MHz+ overclocks.

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS:p

anywayz, look on your mobo, and you should see jumpers labeled "cpu speed" or fsb try changing the jumpers to higher values to achieve an overclock.....

Look in your motherboard manual for a start, flip to the pages that shows the FSB and multiplier settings read the description of what they do. FSB x Multiplier = Speed

The manual should give you where the jumpers are located try different settings also touch the case before you touch the motherboard make sure you don't wear static electric clothes :D
Although you won't get much out of it probably to 100mhz if your lucky.
