Intel 900mhz

Is it possible to overcloack a intel 900mhz PIII Porcessor, it was in an hp and I moved it to a gateway, will it work?

I highly doubt it, since Gateway's disable the overclocking function on there motherboards.

There still may be hope to overclock it, VIA Windows, that is.

You can try a program like CPUCooL, or CPUFSB (which can be downloaded here). And, before you get all excited about doing your thing, you are also going to need to find out the make of your PLL (Phase-Locked Loop), and see if it's even supported by the program. Instructions on how to find and identify your PLL are also found on the site listed above.

That machine is old enough it could be using jumpers to configure FSB speed and voltages, in which case you would probably be setting it from 100 to 133.
