Is there any hope

[MadHaTr]

I have a Pentium 233 MMX. No idea what the mother board is...its a prebuilt thing with a no good board im sure.

how can i increase my FSB or is 66 the fastest im gonna get? i read that 3.5x was the biggest multi i can have so my only hope is in the FBS. or voltage once i read something about that. I would aprreciate any help
Thanks

frankly, there is not much hope!

the P-233MMX has the max multipler of 3.5 and that makes it run at 233 MHz. the multiplier is built into the processor, it should take the external jumper settings properly.

Assuming you dont have the motherboard manual, open the case and check whats charts are printed on the motherboard, if it has any FSB setting charts, that say it can go 75 or 83 MHz, its your only hope to get somewhat higher speeds. but 233 MHz is already and overclocked model of 200 MHz, so unless you have good cooling and some options with the core voltage (look for appropriate charts on the motherboard again) you cant really go much higher. 75x3.5 will give you 263 MHz, which is pretty much acheiviable (at least I have got all my P-200MMX or P-233MMXs working fine at this setting. Maybe reducing the multiplier will help, faster memory performance is certainly better than just faster core speed.
