I dont know that particular mainboard, but it doesnt sound like it would have a lot of overclocking options :(

Can you increase the FSB (bus speed) in the bios ?

Get a new Motherboard, sorry it be blunt but the basis of ALL SPEED, reliability and overclocking options are in the mainboard.

A 300Mhz overclock and a 4K increase in 3DMark all form changing my Jetway 663AS PRO for a Epox 8KHA+.

I would try to get a new mainboard, (return the old one if you can). A superb mainboard can cost as little as $80 (Epox).
