Jumper Settings for old Packard Bell

I recently came across an Old Packard bell that nobody wanted, cleaned it up and I want to overclock it, but I can't find any motherboard manuals for it to explain the jumpers or what they do. I also need any BIOS updates that may be out there.

System:
Pentium 233 w/ MMX
Packard Bell Motherboard
Bios #: 2A59GB3JC-00
Model #: R515 or PB-730 (the same?)

I spent about 4 hours looking online today with no success. The Packard Bell website wasn't any help (I wasn't surprised) nor anywhere else that I could find.

If anyone could help me out with this I would appreciate it.
 
Want a good advice? Unskrew all parts, (Use hammer and chainsaw , watch your fingers!) , dig 8' (2.40 Meters) hole in ground , and put there all parts that marked "PB". than put 8L of acid there, than cover the hole with 8 ton of concrete. Now take some socket 7 m/b and put the parts you have there.
The latest PB's i can find have FX chipset if you had the same (probably not) i can check the jumper settings.


All i can offer you is the truth. Nothing more.
 
you are wasting your time. Time is money, get another job and buy a real computer.
 
I would do that, but the computer was free and I used old spare parts. I was planning on running a Hal-Life server on it and nothing else. Packard Bell is one of the worst computer makers out there...but for free it was worth it I think.

thanks anyway
