I totally forgot the boards model number, I am at work but when I se this at home I will see if I can find it. But my first post Pentium PC was a Celeron 366 - over the years I done a lot with it and I gave it to my mom to use, and she never bought a monitor so I am working on another pc to give her... and she tossed the manual and drivers cd's for it by accident...

So as I look for those (pc chips site doesn't load right from work) I was wondering is there a way to OC my 366 to a 400? Maybe a 425 or so. As well, is there anyway to expand the memory to 100 instead of 66? I have PC100 chips in it, but been told it doesn't go past PC66.

Any helps and leads would help. Never OC'd a system before and if I experiment with any system it mine as well be this one! :P

I think PC Chips mobo's are re-branded ECS boards. Most ECS/PC Chips mobo's aren't overclockable by default, but with a modified BIOS they can be overclocked. Usually (though not always) an ECS overclockers BIOS will work flawlessly on the equivalent PC Chips mobo. Do you know which PC Chips Mobo you have? Chipset + revision number + clock generator should be enough, though with both manufacturers the model is usually silk-screened on the mobo.

If you can believe this, ECS are the "elite" version while PC-Chips are the cheapo motherboards from the same company.
