Use a pencil to restore the level 1 "L1" bridges and change the multiplier in your BIOS. Or increase you front side bus clock frequency in the BIOS. To be truthful you should do some searching and reading on overclocking. Then decide if and how you want to do it and what the consequences of doing it are. I have a 1.1g T-Bird that is presently not overclocked. I am seriously thinking of taking it out and doing the pencil trick.
Here is one link that may help.

Thanks, cooling should not be a problem because I bought a Globalwin CAK-II 68 Copper Heatsink 4700+ RPM :) , one of the best CPU fans on the market. Expensive though, it was 64 bucks without tax (Canadian)
