The multiplier on the P4 is locked...in your case, it's set at 14x. Overclocking is done by raising the FSB. If possible, set the AGP speed at 66MHz & disable any Spread Spectrum settings...then begin jacking up the FSB a little (5MHz) at a time, testing for stability after each change. Hopefully you have PC3200 RAM? Try to run your RAM at the same speed as the FSB. There may be a CPU:DRAM ratio setting...keep it at 1:1
