    I use Celeron M 1.6 which has FSB at 100 MHz (400MHz)

    So my ram is DDR2-533 But it's locked by FSB at 100MHz (DDR2-400) Anyone know how can I set my Ram to 533 MHz (Just like Asyncronus between RAM and FSB)

    But If I use pin mod, I'm not sure may I have to break the warrantee void or not

    Yep, if you do the pin mod, then you do void your warranty. Anyway, if you manage to raise your memory frequency, it isn't going to make too much of a diffeence in speed.

    But My CPU is Celeron M 1.6 if I change bus to 533 -> 16*133 = 2.1 GHz. Is it possible???

    Yes, you can clock your processor to 2.1 GHz, however it may need a volt mod as well. It is similar to the pin mod, in terms of using pins, however, you have to use the pins that govern voltage. A guide should give you an idea of what voltage to use.

    If you do decide to go woth the volt mod as well, then it may result in your processor ruuning a little hotter than it normally does. May I ask, what exactly you want to use the processor for?

    I just wanna run my CPU with the maximum available. But I have to think about the effect after overclock.
