    I cannot find any information on that board or maker - at least not in any language I can read. But in reality, I think you should abandon this overclocking idea. As noted by the dates you listed, this system is already pushing 7 years old. As electronics age, they get weaker and more susceptible to damage from heat. Overclocking is very stressful even on new stuff, and causes more heat generation. It is very likely if you were successful in overclocking, you would just speed up eventual failure, perhaps destroying your CPU and motherboard in the process.

    If you are looking to improve performance, I would start by looking at increasing your RAM first, then upgrading your graphics solution. If you already have at least 3 or 4Gb of RAM and a decent graphics solution, you may look at replacing your CPU with a faster one. In any event, adding addition RAM (and overclocking too) puts added demands on the power supply, so you may need to upgrade that too. Adding RAM provides the best bang for your money. I realize money may be an issue, but overclocking a 6+ year old computer may leave you without a working computer.
