Is it fossible to overclock a P2-333? There are jumper settings on the motherboard, but when i change the jumper settings it just goes to the defalt setting. The jumper settings on the mother board go up to 450. Is it possible to get it to be a 450? Can you tell me if this is possible and if it is how to do it. Thankyou for your time and consideration.

You may have problems it its a dell...i know on later systems p111 + they started clock locking anything and everything, you couldn't even do a mobo change because they were using proprietry cases, in the end you were better off starting from scratch and buying a new case and mobo and salvaging what parts you could from the original system. Dell did build some good systems if you never wanted to upgrade or o/c but if you did want to do any of this stuff then they sucked....I don't know if the situation has changed with their current systems.
