    You'll have to determine what kind of motherboard you have in that thing. Is there a mobo manual? It may have jumper settings.

    Intel's have to be oc'd by the fsb. They are multiplier locked.

    Sometimes jumper settings are printed right on the mobo. Take a look & find out.

    Overclock an Emachines... hahahahahahahahaha

    Sorry, caught me there. Those things are even worse than compaqs on hardware. You'll be lucky if you even have two ide plugs on the mobo.
