I believe I worked on a system before with that board, and its a cruddy PC Chips board with no oc options, you best bet might be with some sort of software oc in windows.

hmmm... thought so... cuz i've tried changing the multiplier in BIOS, but it wont change... lower or increase... still stand at 650...
and what software do u mean? any specific 1??

Well the multi on P3's(well any Intel cpu newer than the very first P2) is locked anyway, so theres no changing that. You only option is raising the bus. You might try SetFSB or CPUFSB, those are probably your best bets. You still won't have any voltage control and any gains you do get will be very minimal, but its still fun to see what you can get out on old timer like that.

It won't really help you any, and could turn the motherboard into a paperweight if it doesn't go right.

The 650 wasn't a very good clocker either, but with softfsb or other utility, you might get a few more Mflops outa the old rig.
