The only way to do that is to slowly increasing the FSB in your bios settings (i recommend increasing at 2x increments). Then use software that will test your cpu capabilities like pcmark per example and see which score you get. This is talking about performance, but about stablity, well...the only way to know for sure in which correct value of the FSB you are...you have to test in your o.s. Play games, do some stuff at the same time and see if your values of oc are stable. Don't worry that if they aren't.. you will notice it right the first minutes you are working in windows

to make sure your OC is stable, run prime95 for a minimum of 5 hours. google it. run it on the stress test. Happy OCing. If you hit a roadblock, IE, you can no longer boot after a small oc, Loosen your memory timings. Be careful though, lol. I Loosened my memoery once and I had to manually do a cmos clear. I scared myself. ><

5 hours is low. Most OCers leave thier system stress testing for a day. or two.
