IF anyone can help me with what might be my clockgen i would appreciate it :) Some insight on my setup is a studio XPS 1640, Duo cpu P8700 @2.53GHz. 4GB ddr3 64bit Vista.

    You would need the information off of the clock generator chip on the motherboard but I'm not sure if SetFSB supports your laptop. Many laptops are not supported.

    If you want to down clock your CPU so it runs slower then you can try using a program like ThrottleStop. To go faster, then you need SetFSB.

    SetFSB can't work with SXPS 1640...
    Better try use ThrottleStop to fix the CPU to run at lower multiplier unless what you're aiming is lower speed than its designed..
