You need a motherboard that allows you to change your FSB. If you've an OEM system (Gateway, Dell etc.) that's pretty much a no-no. Your CPU is at 400Mhz because it's a 4x Multiplier on 100Mhz FSB.
Boost the FSB up and the clock speed goes with it.

The PII-s since about the 300 mark are clock multiplier locked, you can change it all ya like in the BIOS but it won't have any effect.

Theres a program called softfsb that lets you change the fsb speed in windows ,even if there are no fsb jumpers on the board (ie if is autodetect ) or if the bios doesnt support it. It lets you increase the fsb. Just yesterday I used it to oc excelsiors
p2 266 to 320 and it works perfect. Theres a link to the program on shugashack.com
somewhere.

Aye. 'tis a cool program once you can match the right chipset for it.
I never tried it on a non-changeable FSB MBD though. Well, if it works, it works (Duh)...
