I happen to have that exact motherboard. Bought it as part of a package deal from Frye's. It was $200 and Frye's tossed in a free Q6600.

Or maybe I have that backwards ...

If your CPU chip will not run at one full FSB jump upward, you are out of luck. That's about the only way to overclock the things.

{JSC} can you read the pll number on the pll chip on your board? there are programs that let you increase the FSB in small increments i believe but you need to knoe the PLL number and i cant read it on my chip.all i can see is that it is a realtek chip.if you could have a look at the board and tell me the number that would be a great help.thz in advance

I'll try. The board is in my computer at work, and this is my weekend.

I haven't looked for a PLL chip in years. Can you send my a picture showing where it is?
