I have an AMD Athlon XP 2000+. The computer is k7vt2, with a 133 mhz fsb that cannot be turned up or it will freeze on boot. I actually had to turn down the default fsb speed because the computer is wearing out and it freezes on default fsb speed. So is there any software that I can get to overclock my cpu and bus wioth no problems, also I would love to overclock the bus to the memory, because the memory is faster than the memory bus.
Just to let you know I have a heatsink rated for a Pentium 4 3.4Ghz, so there should be no overheating.

well, maybe that's the problem.
what is the HSF name?
maybe you have brought the wrong HSF and put it on your CPU, so the HSF cannot cool down your CPU properly. ar you didn't put the HSF correctly.what is your thermal readings?

Hey, you filled out the info, not me:
"OS: Win XP MCE 2005
CPU/Ram: 1.7ghz/1Gig
System Manufacturer: Gigabyte"You didn't call your board an ASRock in any of the responses...I put the model number into google to find out what it is

You have an old board based on an old chipset (KT266A). I had a look at the manual & there are no overclocking options to speak of. There's no PCI/AGP lock, no voltage adjustment, & no RAM speed adjustment...only the CPU bus. And if you raise the CPU bus without raising the RAM speed, the RAM will bottleneck the system. Without a PCI/AGP lock, the very best you could do would be 150MHz FSB, even so, without CPU voltage adjustment, you'll never even come close to that. In short, you're wasting your time....

...at least with that motherboard. I don't know what you have in mind, but if you wanna get a performance boost "on the cheap" & have some fun, here's an idea:
buy this board for $30....

The KT600 chipset is about equal to the nForce2 in performance, but boards based on it generally don't have all the overclocking options. But if you learn how to "wire mod", you can change the CPU multi or voltage just by putting a few "U-shaped" wires in the CPU socket holes, then installing the CPU. Then you can do the rest from the BIOS. If you have PC2700, wire mod the multi to 10x, then raise the FSB to 166MHz...you won't even need a vcore increase. Look into method 4:
