In your case it comes down to motherboard and RAM, so unless somone here possess psychic powers, nobody will be able to help you much until you give us that information.

Well from what I can see, there is no way to adjust your FSB via BIOS, so it looks like the only way you could overclock is with software, and that is a path you don't want to go down. In reality, even if you could overclock your system, I doubt you would get any noticable gains. However, someone else my have more experience with a similar setup to yours and may be able to give you more advice.

Intel boards do not provide any FSB, V-core adjustment, they never have and never will these features. If they do, they may as well unlock the multiplier in Intel processors.

Otherwise, the Celeron 950 could easily reach 1.2 to 1.3 ghz.

So you're stuck to software that allows you to change the setting of your clock in a running system. I use SoftFSB on my old P2B board but it doesn't work with all boards.

You also find TurboCPU and CPUFSB here:

Download 3DMark (same site under Benchmarks - has to be 3D Mark 2001) and run it before changing everything. Then raise the FSB in small steps with one of the programs and run 3DMark again to see if there are any changes.
If everything works raise again a bit and do it again.
Try that way until your system crashes or becomes unstable (errors occure) and go back to the last setting that worked!

Good luck!

even with no performance increase o/c is good idea-id b pissed if i got a game with min sys req of 1ghz cpu and i had 950mhz.missed it by that much. so unless you can hack the sys nfo file? you couldnt play.0/c by 50mhz wont hurt anything but can be very benificial, even with no performance gain.

Did you get any performance increases or anything at all from it being over clocked?
