OCing a P2??

[Abhi]

Hello OC Gods...

I am new to OCing, and need help....
See, I have an old "POS" AcerPower 6500, which i want to overclock. I know this machine is like ancient history, but this is what i HAVE to use for the next 2 months..

Here is the config..

Processor:
Model Intel Pentium II (0.25 µm)
Frequency 301 MHz
Family/Model/Stepping 6/5/2
Supported External Bus Speed 66, 100 MHz, GTL+, AGTL+
Supported Multiplier 3.5x, 4.0x, 4.5x, 5.0x, 5.5x, 6.0x, 6.5x, 7.0x, 7.5x, 8.0x
Unified L2 Cache 512 KB size

Memory:
Current Memory Type DIMM, SDRAM
Installed Size 128 MB
Correctable Error Exists No
Uncorrectable Error Exists No

Motherboard:
Motherboard Model V65LA/CR
Motherboard Vendor Acer
Motherboard Version D
External Clock 66 MHz
Maximum Speed 300 MHz
Current Speed 300 MHz

On Board Devices
Device 1 ATI 3D RAGE IIC AGP (Video, Status Enabled)

The RAM installed is a new 128MB SDRAM chip (PC133). As far as i know, the computer uses this as PC100 right?? Can i overclock the Ram?
I do not want to spend on cooling as i will trash the system by the end of 2003 anyway. I have however cut a hole on the side of the case (near the RAM and Processor) and mounted an old PSU fan on it. Its connected and is working. (If that helps at all!)
Should i overclock it? And if yes, how?

Sorry if i am not on the wrong forum, but i did not get any replies on "CPUs and Overclocking"....

Well... just opened up the stupid CPU...

And found out that Multiplier speed of my P2 is locked at 4.5, and the max my motherboard supports is 66 Mhz!!

Hence 4.5 X 66 ... = 300 Mhz

Its already running as fast it can on the current hardware!!

.....

Anything i can do with the RAM? Its a PC133 Chip...

Looks like you're stuck where you are.

Go look for a program called SoftFSB. It might work on your motherboard and allow you to run a 75mhz FSB or possibly a 100 if your motherboard supports P2- 350's and higher.

My motherboard is not supported by SoftFSB and the only options i see in the motherboard manual for FSB are 60 Mhz and 66 Mhz ..
