There should be something like "Frequency/Voltage control", "Overclocking", or something in the likes. Slowly up the FSB or HyperTransport (HT) speed, 10-20MHz at a time. Run a SuperPI 1M in between to see that it's somehow stable. Keep doing this until it gets unstable. Then up the VCore by the smallest ammount possible. Repeat until it's somehow stable. Raise the HyperTransport a little again. Repeat.

Board-specific things should be in the manual.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Yeah, also, it might be hidden.

At least it is on my Gigabyte board, I have to press Ctrl + F1 to get to the overclocking page.

There is a daughter board (don't know if you can still find them though) that plugs into the board and lets you use a socket am2 chip and ddr2.

oh my god yes.  i remember that board.  i was seriously considering getting it, actually.  what they have is basically half a mobo that plugs in (much like any PCI card) to their proprietary slot.  and on that half a mobo card thing, they have a CPU socket (AM2) and DDR2 slots.  good luck fitting a non-standard heatsink on that though.  and make sure it doesnt break.
