All done thru the miracle of >software. If you've never overclocked before, I'd say to be relatively carefull before taking on this project. For sure it can go fine, if done properly. If however, you've never had to install an Athlon Heatsink/Fan before, you may find yourself pretty upset if you crack the PCB of the processor, or puncture the PCB of the motherboard with a screwdriver while trying to latch the retention lever. My Advice, Baby steps. For your first attempt, don't add any extra voltage to the processor, just increment the FSB slightly on your processor. Try Adding 5 - 10 - 15 Extra in the FSB. I wouldn't go beyond this though, because then you may "have to" actually "open" your case (To find the Clear CMOS Jumper).
