Hi, I wish to overclock my AMD with software because my BIOS wont support it as its HP BIOS. Any recommendations on software I could use. I have a FIC AM37 mobo with a VIA KM266 chipset.
My RAM is as follows: 1x128mb DDRPC2700 1x512mb DDRPC3200 all the ram runs at DDRPC3200

"all the ram runs at DDRPC3200"
I doubt it. If one of the sticks is DDR333/PC2700, all the RAM runs as PC2700. It doesn't matter because you have a CPU that runs at 133MHz/266FSB, so your RAM should be underclocked to DDR266/PC2100 speed. You're not gaining anything by running your RAM faster than your CPU...actually, you're losing peformance.
Don't raise the FSB any higher than 150MHz & make sure the RAM runs at the same speed.
