If you know the PLL chip of the motherboard you can try the program CPUCool. Then you would likely have to choose a different motherboard than the one you own from the list when you set up the program. As you choose the motherboard CPUCool will show you which PLL is present. If you pick the correct one the motherboard may respond to the CPUCool program.

What the program does when working is change the FSB or Front Side Bus. If you can change it try to go up slowly from the 66 bus speed that will be present if you have a Celeron 633 chip inside.

I take no responsibility for the CPUCool causing trouble with your machine. It is too bad but I don't know of any easy way for you to check which PLL circuit you have on your motherboard.

To try to determine which motherboard you have you could run the program Sandra. It may help. If it does you could go to the site for the motherboard manufacturer and read the manual. If you are lucky the manual may tell you the PLL type.

And finally the other two changes that will need to be done in all likelihood. You will need to change the core voltage for the CPU and to improve the cooling of the chip by changing the heat sink and fan on the chip.
