The multiplier is locked on the Pentium 3, so you'll have to resort to boosting the FSB. Explore your BIOS, or find some jumpers on your mobo. There was/is a program called SoftFSB which could tweak your system bus when BIOS options weren't available. I've never used it, and I don't know if it's still being worked on.

i had a look though my bios and never found any FSB settings, i duno what jumpers are, and ive tried softFSB before, but my motherboard isnt on the list :(

Jumpers are little things you put over little things sticking out of the motherboard. If you dont have your manual to see which ones to change, try http://www.intel.com for a manual. :)

back in 2000, i could easily overclock my P3 coppermine 733 to exactly 825 (the p3 733 is locked at a multiplier of 5.5 so.. 5.5x150=825mhz.) :) I had an Asus-CUV4X which had the option to change the FSB via the bios.
