Im new to Hardware Forums and new to overclocking. My cpu is a Pentium 3E 866 mhz processor, my motherboard ID is 11/01/2000-i810-W83627HF-6A69MH29C-00.
 
Number 1, i don't think your BIOS settings have an overclocking option. 2, even if you could, would you want to? The speed you would gain from overclocking would be irrelevant as you would notice no difference in performance.

If i were you, i'd sell the parts and hope to gain some antiquity money ;) Make a few extra bucks...
 
What BIOS settings would i require? And yes, if i could, i would want to. Im willing to spend the time to squeeze some more speed out of this thing.
 
Go into your BIOS settings by pressing the delete key at the black screen when you turn on your computer. Once you're in the BIOS settings, look and see if you can adjust your FSB speeds under the CPU configurations.
If you see a setting, let us know the speed its currently at.
 
It doesnt have a setting to change the FSB speed, but i determined with ClockGen that my FSB speed is about 133 mhz.
 
Yeah i had a feeling you wouldn't be able to change the setting. Old BIOS's didn't have that option.
