It was originally at 100mhz

so it was 100 x 10.5 giving it a total of 1050 mhz

Its a t-bird 1.4ghz
so do i change the CPU CLOCK to 133mhz to give me 1400 MHZ?

yeah, just change the jumper to use a 133mhz fsb. i assume you got pc2100ram, not pc1600

the multiplier is controlled with dip switches on the board but you can change the fsb in the bios

forgot to mention...even though you can adjust the fsb in the bios, you still need to change the jumper on the board to get the proper 1/4 pci divider. if you just change the fsb to 133mhz in the bios then you will be massively overclocking the pci cards and i doubt the system will post

i think it is the 3-pin jumper next to the ram voltage jumpers under the ram slots, next to the agp slot. i'm not 100% sure without digging out my manual so i suggest you take a quick look in the manual to be sure.
