can anyone tell me how to over clock my pc(get more processor power) here is a pic of the motherboard if my tower was laid on its side http://www.shopcircle.net/Ebay%20Au...

yep, even the fact I dont know much about the consecuences of overclocking, I have enoug knowledge to say that mobo its impossible to overclock, but if I'm in a mistake take a look in your bios an option CPU /pnG or something, there are a few options to make faster your cpu, but if that option is not present... just forgot it and trash it.
Mobo: Intel 865PERL
Chipset: IntelĀ® 865PE
CPU: Intel P4 Northwood 3.0 GHZ
RAM: 512MB DDR-SDRAM
Video: ATI Radeon 7000VE Series TV-Out 64MB
Audio: SoundMAX4XL
HD: Maxtor 120GB IDE

Do you honestly not have an extra 200$ lying around the house somwhere???
An A8N sli deluxe mobo AND a 3700+ athlon san diego add up to less then $200. You can then keep your mem and use an onboard videocard...
If u can't affort 200$, buy something even cheaper >.<
Im pretty sure anything over $50 will be a greatly significant improovement over your present system...P.S this combo deal on newegg costs $100 and will improove your pc performance by 10x or more...

Good luck

Sorry luke...you have all you're gonna get out of that thing.
PRO's:
The GX1 is a pretty good and very reliable machine.CON's:
It won't overclock
It was intended to be a workstation
The PIII/500 you have is a crappy overclocker on any motherboard...best I've heard of is 5x112Mhz for a 560Mhz solution.Bottom line:
Please reread response number 1.Skip

You could try a software overclocking solution, such as SoftFSB. But even if software overclocking works, you won't be able to get much of a boost because of the external cache. The cache on those early P3s weren't designed to go much faster than their default speeds.
