Can this MB overclock at all?

I'm assembling a new system to sell in the local trader papers. I was able to get a cheap 1.1 Duron for it, and it has the L1 bridges laser cut.

I was going to connect them, but after looking through the BIOS overclocking "options", I'm not sure if it's be worth the $8 for the defogger kit.

The motherboard is a DFI / Elite AZ30-TL. It's a replacement for an Emachines 2200 computer. Someone else got it and then realized they didn't need it, so I bought it cheap.

From what I can see, there's no way to adjust the FSB or multiplier other than the basic 100/133 type settings.

Or are overclocking options being hidden because it sees the processor is locked? Would I have more options after unlocking the CPU?

This Duron idles at 50 C with good thermal paste and a BIG aluminum heat sink and fan anyhow, so I wonder if overclocking is a good idea in the first place.

    I wouldn't try overclocking it unless the hsf was upgraded. Since it's a Duron 1.1 and runs on a 100 fsb, you would stand a decent chance of running on a 133 fsb if you had really good cooling but it's not worth spending good money on to get a premium hsf.
