Why do u want to overclock?:S Its already running at speeds close to3ghz...Also it will ruin the chip if there is no proper cooling...
Try using s/w setfsb...Use at your own risk...

Overclock for a socket 478 P4= Big NONO. Your temperatures will go too high and may cause heating problems and crashes .

Use clockgen, I had my P4 506 2.66 @ 3.8~ on Intel genuine mobo, D101GGC

I dont think it would be on a stock cooler.. At 3.8GHz it would probably melt the stock cooler :tongue: :tongue: :tongue: ...

It was on stock cooler w/ CM thermal paste, actually I had S775 CPU, P4 506 and PD 2.66 r awesome OCers, 20 Multi.

Differance was visible, LOL that time I used to play EA Cricket 2005, buggiest version.

Never had problem with my Nortwood , I used to bump its speed from 2.8ghz to 3.4 , no issue

But OC'in P4 won't make much difference

Me too looking for pentiumD 2.66ghz..but does it make sense buying as compared to current pentiums...
