you need a certain bios for the motherboard. however, even with the bios, you only have overclocking choices of 138, 150, and 166. you can get that here...

You can also use software like CPUcool to overclock from the FSB and avoid potentially flash frying your bios. I use it to O/C a 1.4 T-Bird to 1.54ghz(146.6FSB) on the K7S5A and it's super stable.
