I downloaded this program called the Clockometer from my motherboard manufacturer's web site that is supposed to let me set my FSB and multiplier. It has a really user friendly GUI but it doesn't seem to help one iota since I can't set the FSB to anything over 102mhz from 100mhz and it doesn't let me change my multiplier at all. I ran into this problem while trying to change the FSB in my BIOS also. My motherboard is an FIC AZ11, if you can tell me why it won't let me change my multiplier and or why it completely locks up after setting the FSB to anything over a measely 102mhz please reply. If you need to see more of my system specs just click My Rig in my signature. Thanks. By the way, heat isn't the culprit because the CPU isn't overheating at all.

not sure that "256 MB of Generic PC100" is helping you a whole lot on the FSB.

I dont know how this CLOCKOMETER works, but it sounds like something close to SOFT MENUIII of Abit boards. But try to overclock using the jumpers, or thru the BIOS. I dont know very much how does programs work. And like cpars said I dont think ur memory is helping you a lot, try to change ur memory to a PC133.
Another thing I dont know your board very much but if it has the KT133, and NOT the KT133A, I dont think you will go too far raising the FSB. Around 108 Mhz is what most KT133 goes on the FSB. You might try to raise the multiplier too.
And any doubts ask, dont go out trying anything. Be very careful OCing!
Good luck!
Hope we helped you.
