Anyway, use some thermal grease on the processor for starters. If that doesn't get the job done, install a fan on the heatsink. If that doesn't work, well, you probably dont want to hear what I have to say next
As a side note, if you have PC133 RAM, I believe it is possible to run the bus at 120MHz in these machines. That would allow a processor speed of 480MHz.
