Could someone tell me how i can overclock a pentium 1 120mhz?

I have a pentium 120mhz with 64mb ram..
is there any chance i could raise my speed
even just a bit or even up to 166mhz?
thanks

If you have your motherboard manual, it should be easy to locate the jumper to change.
A P-120 CPU runs on a 60mhz clock with a 2X multiplier. The multiplier should remain at 2X, but it may be possible to change the clock speed to 66mhz by changing a jumper or two. This would bring you up to a P-133. I do not think it wise to attempt to push your CPU futher.
Before making any changes it is recomended that you take the time to document the present jumper positions so that these settings can be restored if desired.
GOOD LUCK

Depending on your board, you may be able to flash with a newer BIOS and then purchase a higher rated chip. If not, listen to Max. His advice sounds pretty solid...

2x75 is also in the realm of possibility.
That's as far as I ran them.

I used to own a P-120 and had it clocked at 166. I've also overclocked a few other P-120s and I've found them to be a really overclock friendly chip. You could probably reach 166 MHz and possible even 180 MHz, at the least you should be able to run fine at 150.
Good luck on overclocking it!
