I'm not sure if this is overclocking or not... but my motherboard says that it supports a 533 MHz FSB. Right now, I have it at 133MHz, and when I looked in the BIOS to try to change it, it said that the CPU Ratio was "locked."

I'm just trying to get my FSB to the fullest advertised potential. Please help!! How can I unlock it and raise it to 533??

Specs:
CPU: P4 2.4 GHz (Intel)
Mobo: ECS P4VXASD2+ 400/533 FSB
Mem: 1GB DDR 2100
Vid: Geforce 4 Ti 4200 128mb

dont worry, 133Mhz is the based frequency. this gets multiplied by 4 to give 533Mhz (QDR i think its called).

Error 34:
There was no error

Jake is right, you are already at 533MHz.

ic... but i ran a benchmarking test (pcmark2002), and it said that my FSB was at 133MHz... should I run another prog to make sure? is there one? I heard some person talking about Sandra...

Sandra is one, Aida 32 is another good diagnostic tool.

I highly doubt you could run any PC-2700 at 200MHz, maybe 180 max... maybe.
