Dont bother, buy a new Athlon xp1600 for £48.00. Sell your Duron for £20.00. I've tried and mangaged 100mhz. Instability sets in and you will have a PC that does not work properly.

Jesse, have you unlocked your multiplier? If not, all you can do is try raising your FSB. You didn't give any info on your mobo, so anything I tell you would basically be a guess. If you post the specs of your machine, maybe someone will be able to help you out...maybe even me! LOL
jac, no offense, but that's not what Jesse asked...nothing wrong with throwing in a comment like that, but at least save it until you've answered the question...

Okay, my motherboard is an FIC AZ11. The thing is, I tried to make my fsb 133 instead of 100, and it wont even start up. When I put it back, it starts up just fine.

Hey Jesse, I also just got a Duron 1Ghz, I haven't unlocked the multiplier, yet. I tried 133x10 like you just to see, of course it didn't even make it to windows, but now I have it at 120x10 =1.2ghz.
I don't know if your mobo can increase the FSB in 1Mhz increments, probably not, so you would have to unlock the multipier then lower it along with a 133fsb maybe.

I got a 1G Duron with Morgan core, it can run at 133 FSB stablely, Epox8k7a, but I don't know how to unlock the mutipier, anybody can show me? better with picture.
Summary: From what I've read of your previous posts, you have this Duron on an ECS motherboard. The BIOS won't allow you to change the FSB or RAM any higher than 100/100. There are a number of ways you could t...
Summary: A better video card would probably help more, although I was unable to find what kind of video card you currently have. If you still want to overclock, do a google search for "socket a" duron overcloc...
