Overclocking a dual-800 MHz P3

[authenticate]

I have the following system that I am looking to overclock:

MSI-6321 motherboard
dual 800 MHz Pentium III cpus
VIA 694 xdp/vt82c686a chipset
fsb 133 mhz
256 Mb SDRAM

I would appreciate any advice on the simplest way to go about this.

not much else you can do besides increase FSB as much as you can.
I have dual 700 oc to 933 at 133FSB, I can push it to about 140FSB but nothing more than that.
play with a 600EB P3 before, I remember it can only go up to 155 (815 chipset??) and no more. but that was long time ago, you might have better luck.

Total crapshoot (especially with 2 CPU's) and the benefit of overclocking the 800EB's won't be noticeable. I had a 733EB that I could push to 825MHz, but there was no tangible gain in speed. You could possibly do the same (increase the bus speed to 150 MHz so you run at 900MHz) but it probably won't be 100% stable (mine wasn't), and you won't notice the 100MHz increase.

In my opinion, you can't increase your performance on that system without getting new CPU's, and that's not worth it either...

Your comments are helpful. In that case, is it worth increasing the RAM to 512 Mb? I am running Windows XP (though I wonder why as 2K was running perfectly with all my apps. which mostly don't work under XP).
