if your mobo it locket at 100mhz-233mmx procecors then can you still overclock a 233 mmx to anything higher?

Without knowing what motherboard you have, it's difficult to answer. Do you know what multiplier settings, FSB settings, & CPU voltage settings are available to you? Usually, an older Socket 7 board if configured thru jumpers or switches on the board itself...not in the BIOS. What make/model board do you have? Do you have the manual?

yes the cpu us configured and the mobo has the multiplyer settings printed on the bord the mobo is a pwa-sniper mother bd assy. 411691000r i have no manual and compaq wont supply me with ne or tell me where to got one. and the jumpers shoe 2.8v 2.9v 3.0v 3.1v 3.2v 3.3v set at 2.8 now and 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5multiplyer and the fsb is not shown the sticker on the last isa slot shows model:sniper,1p3i,32m,256k. hope this helps

All I was able to find out is that it's an old Compaq motherboard. Unless there are other FSB options available (75mhz for instance), you're probably not gonna be able to do much. But at 3.5 x 75mhz, you'd be at 262.5mhz

ok thank you and does anyone know where i can get a manual for this bord.?? are gateway computers good for overclocking?

All the brand name PCs...Dell, Gateway, Compaq, etc...have very limited BIOS or jumper settings, so they're not good for overclocking. If you wanna play with socket7 CPUs, try eBay, see if you can find a cheap Super7 board like the FIC 503+...it uses either 72-pin SIMMs or 168-pin PC66/100/133 & you can run "asynchronous" (CPU & memory bus at different speeds). The 233MMX runs nicely at 250mhz with 100mhz FSB...plus you can up to a 550mhz K6-2 or K6-3

yes i know i already own that bord and i never tryed to overclock it but i still think it was a good bord but i cant seem to get it to work now with my amd 500 or my intel 100,200,233mmx does any one know what could be wrong with it and does any one know what company built the power tx bord's? how can i overclock a asus bord with 8mb ram and 66mhz cpu?
