Tabor Motherboards

[Shooks]

I have a Gateway computer and it came with a Tabor Motherboard (WS440BX i think). I cant find any information on this board and I really want to overclock my PIII 500. How would I go about this, cause I dont think I can change my FSB through my BIOS.

Can't overclock Gateway's newer mobos. They have them pretty well locked down so customers don't accidentally damage their hardware.

well you could try SoftFSB its a program that lets you overclock from within windows

you will have to identify your clock crystal on the motherboard

its a small silver coloured oval shaped chip
it should have 1*.**mhz typed on it or something similar
then it might be possible to use the software,however you wont be able to raise the voltage

Where would it be on the mobo? Like near what? sorry, im a newb

hey, i found a silver oval thingy on my mobo. It kind of sticks out a little, i mean up off the board.....it says MP14.138

what does that mean? and how does it help me?
