You can overclock your 200 to 233 just by changing the multiplier to 1.5x...the MMX CPU will "see" it as 3.5x & will clock to 233mhz (3.5 x 66 FSB).
However, if you can set your vcore (CPU voltage) as low as 2.2v, you can install a K6-2/400...just set the multiplier to 2.0x & the K6-2 will "see" it as 6.0x & clock to 400mhz (6.0 x 66 FSB).
If you can set the FSB to 75mhz, you can run your 200MMX at 225mhz (3.0 x 75 FSB)...possibly 262.5 if you use the 1.5x multiplier trick. You may have to bump up the vcore to get it to run at this speed...then again, it may not work at this speed at all...all you can do is give it a shot...
Or with a K6-2 & 75mhz FSB, you can hit 450mhz using the 2.0x multiplier trick (6.0 x 75 FSB). But ONLY if you can set the vcore to 2.2v
Can somebody explain to me exaclty how to do this? Do I need a new part or do I just change some jumper settings? I also do not know what the term "Overclock" means.
Thank-You

Its just a matter of changing a few jumpers. Easy to do but equally easy to get wrong. You will need the motherboard manual to identify the jumpers. Make sure you correctly identify pin 1 on each jumper block.
Overclocking means to run a CPU at a clock speed greater than it was designed for. Its a black art not for the fient hearted as you can over do it and end up with a fried CPU. Overclocking makes the CPU run hotter so you will need to ensure that you have a good heatsink and fan.

Jesse,
Look at the picture of the jumpers. You can interpet them as x1.5, x2, x2.5 etc. and that's a definite maybe. These mobo's are custom made for manufacturers such as compaq, dell and hp and may not translate to a "real" motherboard setting.
For example 200=66x3, 233=66x3.5, 133=66x2. Some mobos also see a higher speed processor and apply a lower multiplier setting and "translate" it to set the proc speed. Reread the responses to your other posts. I posted a document list for your machine, and jam answered on the same thread. Stuart also answered on another of your threads in addition to this one.
The settings described may or may not be possible on your particular motherboard. You must assume though, that the 200 setting on you mobo is 66Mhz fsb times a multiplier of 3. You may also assume the other settings reflect a different multiplier. That's all the mainboard info I could find on dell's site and other jumpers may exist on the board that dell didn't publish. You're gonna have to look on the mobo for anything that's not in print.
