Anything other than clockgen?

[RyanEJ8]

Is there anything other than clockgen for OCing? It doesn't seem to be compatible with my motherboard and I can't find any settings in the bios for overclocking.

Thanks
Ryan

Can't you change the PCI frequency? If you can't overclock your CPU in the BIOS how can you do that in Windows?

Apparently because I have an OEM system. I found this in the Overclocking 101 FAQ:

I have a Dell/HP/Compaq/Packard Bell/IBM/Toshiba etc ... how do I OC?
For the most part you are SOL and as long as you realize this, read on. In some cases (don't count on it though), you can make use of software hacks to overclock your computer. One of the more popular attempts is a via a program called ClockGen. Having a quick glance at the list of supported boards, it's evident that even ClockGen is not directed at owners of OEM systems but you might get lucky. This is the price to pay for buying an OEM system (i.e., they dont want you to OC: they'd rather have you buy a new system from them)

Why would you want to change your PCI frequence, even if you overclock you want to keep your PCI bus at 33mhz.
