    I have the same problem, but that's what I get for buying a Dell..... If your pc was manufactured by a company (Dell, Acer, HP, etc), it should be locked, so you can't overclock it.

    If your system is a dell, HP or the like, you can O/C only through a windows based overclocking program, not through the Bios (this is not 'true' O/C'ing). It's fine for video cards i guess, but not for CPU's. Not worth the bother IMO!

    so using programs like clockgen and cpufsb isn't real OCing? please explain if you could.

    I don't see how its not.. Its just a bit of a pain loading the OCed setting every time windows loads compared to loading them at system boot. Maybe nitecrawler means that the system will only be overclocked after windows has loaded? Its not exactly like you need a ton of power in DOS mode or any other "lower level mode" any way so i don't see how its a big issue.

    so raising the fsb with a windows based overclocking program is the same as doing it through the bios, right? I mean, raising fsb is raising fsb, regardless of how it's done?

    ace, aren't there some settings or something in the software that would automatically load the overclocked settings at boot?

    True.

    Yes but it's just one more thing to slow windows down at startup..
