aaahhh, I don't think you want to do this... My (perhaps limited) understanding tells em that running a 66MHz chip at 100MHz blow it sky high. Although according to this web site[1] that's ok for celerons. I'd make sure you have some pretty decent cooling though - ie. water cooling, or move to Alaska. If all you want to do is run the RAM faster, what you usually have is a FSB to RAM multiplier (can't remember what it's called - my overclocking days are long gone :) Which allows you to run the ram at 100 or 133... > Does anyone know of a way to set the FSB in software? Not me! My best recommendation would be to buy a really good overclocking motherboard - one with all these features in the bios. You should be able to get S370 mbs on ebay for cheap.
