    overclocking ECS K7S5A

    I got 384mb of pc133 RAM
    and ECS K7S5A board with XP1700+

    Is there any way to overclock this rig?

    I tried to bios FSB change, but it is limited to
    100/100, 100/133, and 133/133

    is there any chance I can o/c my system?
    (My pc 133 ram is tested, and it goes around 148mhz without a hitch)
    Strengths
    stock fan
    2200mhz @ stock v-core (200 X 11)
    2300mhz @ 1.75v (200 X 11.5)
    2400mhz @ 1.95v (200 X 12.0)

    Going higher than 2400mhz is near impossible with air cooling.

    Unless there's an OC BIOS that lets you adjust multiplier and FSB, which I doubt there is, you have to manually set the mutipliers using L3 and L4 bridges. Check out this article. Looks like a PITA to do, the easier way would be upgrading your mobo.
