Unfortunately one of our resident overclocking experts, Bat69, is still away doing up his house!   ::)  Some people just don't know what their priorities are!   ;D  Hopefully someone will be able to help you though, Jon.   ;)

I believe the master bedroom is now completed and he could be back sooner rather than later  :)

You could try looking at his website Jon....I believe there is quite a bit of info on there about overclocking  ;)

There's also www.overclock.co.uk, and www.overclockers.co.uk, both of which are retailers, but you mighty be able to find what you need.

No, I think it involves tinkering in the BIOS, but you can cause irrepairable damage if you do it wrong, so I would strongly advise you to leave well alone, until you have some professional advice, Jon.

There isnt any software as such Jon, it involves altering the multiplier and the voltages, best left alone unless you really are prepared to buy a new mobo and CPU if you cock it up.
Theres little point in overclocking something when its faster than a 266 anyway as you wouldnt really notice any improvement.
Overclocking was a useful thing to do when cpus were a lot slower than they are now, when a few hz could make a noticeable improvement   :)

You really don't want to smell that lovely Silicon burning smell  ;D You'll remember it for the rest of your life, so will your wallet  ;) Try running system cleaners, clean out any garbage, clear out the register etc. It will make a wee bit of difference  :)
