That depends on your motherboard & your CPU. Most old Socket 7 boards had the settings (FSB, multiplier, voltage) on the board, not in the BIOS...either jumpers or a DIP switch. You'll need the manual for your board...if you don't have it, you may be able to download it...or it's possible that the jumper settings are printed right on the board itself, you'll have to take a look...while you have it open, see if you can locate the model number (if you don't already know it).
Other than that, it's just experimentation. You may be able to get it to run at 200mhz (3.0 x 66FSB) or maybe even 233 (1.5 x 66FSB).
NOTE: the MMX CPU sees the 1.5x multiplier setting as 3.5x.
If you can set your FSB to 75mhz, your can try 187.5mhz (2.5 x 75FSB) or 225mhz (3.0 x 75mhz). The 75mhz FSB will give your system more of a boost, even if the CPU clock speed is lower...in other words, 187.5/75FSB is better than 200/66FSB.
You may have to bump up the CPU voltage, but you should always try to overclock with the default voltage (in your case, 2.8v) first.

If you are still running a P1 as your main computer then that is bad enough. If thats the case.. then.. I recommend saving your money and just waiting until the summer/end of this year then buying a new computer. You probably wouldnt notice so much of a difference at all after overclocking that anyway.
