You could try software OC'ing (clockgen, cpusoft), but it's pretty unreliable, and not really recommended...or pick up a new mobo.

clockgen: http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php

cpusoft: doesn't seem to be available any longer

absolute best mobos: Abit IC7-Max3, Asus P4C800-E Deluxe

cost-effective performers: Abit AI7 or IS7, Asus P4P800-E Deluxe

Nice choice. You will not need to re-format your hard drive...just install the chipset drivers, and any other drivers you will require (onboard sound, onboard LAN). Unless you Twinmos is PC2100 or lower, then it should work fine. : Let us know once you get it...we want to see some positive results!

Well, to ID your mobo, just pull the side panel off and see if you can't find a part number...then google it. Sandra and CPU-Z can also ID chipsets, processor types and RAM type and quantity.

Since my English isn't "all that" I probably will post more then a few questions..
Maybe someone here would be so kind to check my specs and tell me "exactly" what to do... apart from the MSI P.A.T. features on my mobo...
