i went home at the weekend and found my old mobo laying arround, i have decided to use it as my downloading pc!!!

i thought id have a go at overclocking it but i think the bios is locked as i cant even change the ram timming, but the rams running at 100mhz and its good for 133atleast as thats what its rated at!!

anyway i need a program that i can use in windows, the mobo is a msi 6297 aka k7-pro

i have tried system tool and clockgen with no luck
can you think of any others that might support this old school system?

before anyone says i know i wont see any improvement but i just like to overclock:)
