I built this machine a few months back and would like to try
overclocking it. However, I understand that this mobo is not that
overclockable. I found the step by step site
http://www.rojakpot.com/Speed_Demonz/Duron_OC/Duron_OC_01.htm which
details a lot of info particular to my processor. However, I don't
think my bios can change the voltage etc. Can any one help me with info
on this board in particular? The system is:

The only adjustments on that board are the front side bus. That board will go to about 107 FSB before it craps out.
The core voltage is adjustable in the Bios, right on the same screen with the FSB if I remember correctly, but why change it if you cant adjust the multiplier, right?
It is a nice stable board, but will not overclock well.
DFI now has the AK-75EC which supports multiplier adjustments and 133 FSB.
