Look in your BIOS for a way to adjust your FSB, raising the FSB will raise the CPu speed, however it also runs the video card, RAM, and PC slots faster so be carful. Raise it in the lowest increments possible.

Right now you are at

(FSB)133x11.5(11.5 being the multipler)

So say you raise the Bus to 140 then you have

140x11.5= 1610mhz


After you raise it a little it go into windows and test it by plying some games, running 3dmark, virus scan, or somthing that taxes your cpu at 100% if it is stable then go back and increase it a little more.

Also remember to watch your temps, keep them under 55-60C if possible.
