Overclocking possible?

Hi there,

below the signature you can find my computers config. I don't want
spend some money for a faster cpu. I would like to overclock current.

If there anyone who can help. I'd never done before... Thanx a lot.

Speed? Huh, 100/133
This is going to limit you very much.

Get a new board, with the release of the AMD 64's, the socket a boards have
come down a bit.

This @ least looks like a nice board.

And I properly configured news reader won't include it in the reply text,
so nothing other than the sigline info should be below the sigline mark.

KT133A chipset with an official max speed of 133MHz. Will reach about
145-150MHz before overclocking the other buses too much.

There's more than 3 models of this cpu. How, and how much you can
overclock it depends on the model. Defaults for this cpu is 12.5x133.
Multiplier times FSB = CPU speed. If it's a Palomino or Tbred A core,
about all you can do is raise the FSB speed until the system fails. If
it's a newer core, then there's lots more options. See link below.
