thanks for the help sorry such a long post
 
I don' know if u can change the multiplier on that board, but u SHOULD be able to increase the FSB, that would give u some extra MHz....
I don't know your board, but on most new boards u can change the FSB, but I'm not sure. Try someting like, 7,5 x 107= 802,5MHz or 7,5 x 109= 817MHz
Look in your motherboard manual, if u don't know how to change the FSB.

Good luck!
