A similar mod can be done to get a Dell inspiron 530 with Q6600 to run at 3 ghz. Like hearing about people OCing the dells so keep the results coming
I purchased a 9300 about a week ago and learned about a mod that allowed a 400 mhz fsb to be forced to 533 and gave it a try with the happy result of a 1.6 ghz at 2.13 ghz. I had also bought a dell 8400 (knowing it had the 925XE chipset and supported a 3.73 ghz EE) with the ambitious goal of trying to take a 630 to 4 ghz by forcing a 1066 fsb. Will in the 9300 one pin had to be taken from H to L to get 533 I think Bsel1, the funny thing is after looking at the white sheets for the P4 the exact same mod takes 800 mhz to 1066 on the 2 mb version P4 processors. At first I was going to try to solder a couple points under the mobo to ground Bsel1, but unlike AMD mobos, the contacts don't exist underneath the mobo. So scratch that, and a U shape mod would definitely not work on the socket 775 processors, so I had my sisters husband solder a connection between Bsel1 and Bsel2 to ground it on the processor and bam 4 ghz and so far it seems completely stable. The one thing if any1 tries this is to make sure you put the motherboard back in correctly, if it is not locked into place the system won't start up (there was a period of about 5 minutes where I thought I had killed it). I never thought I would be saying this but man Dell's rock
