Default Overclocking Compaq 5700N

The motherboard is designed to accept the higher voltage Celeron CPUs. The
fastest is 533MHz. The CPUs are clock-locked, so running at the 533MHz speed
would be automatic.

The front side bus of the system is limited to 66MHz. With the help of special
hardware, it might be possible to install a faster low-voltage 766MHz Celeron.
See if PowerLeap still has a Socket 370 kit available, but it would probably be
more expensive than the system hardware is worth... Ben Myers

I wrote an earlier message regarding overclocking this machine.
Thanks for the suggestions. This machine runs XP very well and since
there is no chance of overclocking this is there a way to put a faster
Celeron processor in it, would it recognize it and run at the new
speed? There doesn't seem to be a way to set any switches or anything
on the motherboard. Thanks for any suggestions. DKline
