1.8 to 2.4 O.O I SERIOUSLY doubt that's possible... OK, to give you real info, I really need you to run something like CPUz so I can get some actual specs on your board. Chipset and possibly mobo model.

With what I know, I'm afriad you're quite limited. There's a limit to certain speed processors the mobo can handle. Hell I probably have a newer 'old' machine(socketA, AGP4x, etc etc) that can only go up to 1.4GHz.

Now you can get what's called a Slocket(convertes Slot1 to socket 370) but you're still limited by your motherboard...

A board that age, it's probaly about time to just upgrade it.
