Overclocking a Dell XPS R400??

[GBeaty]

Has anyone every overclocked a Dell XPS R400?? (400 MHz PII)

The only documented jumper setting make the BIOS enter a maintenence mode where you can change the CPU speed from 300-450. When I set it on 450, the computer does not boot, nothing happens at all. The Dell web site claims this motherboard is capable of supporting speeds of 450 MHz. Any ideas of how I can make it work?

BTW, I've already overclocked my VooDoo 2s, easiest thing in the world to do.

It is capable of supporting the speed but it won't do it unless you use a 450 CPU. Intel makes Dells mobo's, you think Intel is going to let millions of people overclock that easily? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Dell computers are excellent but they don't support overclocking.
