Not sure if you have already looked, but it really depends on the model of the mobo and what options is available in the bios.
Which model? You may be able to pad mod the CPU to a 1066MHz or 1333MHz FSB. You might also have to pad mod the VID signals to raise the voltage.
A pad mod works by shorting contacts on the package with some conductive fluid, like a windshield defogger repair kit or PCB trace repair fluid, to make the CPU behave like a faster speed model by changing the detected FSB speed.
There is a slight chance that you could have a compatible clock generator on the motherboard that allows you to use a Windows-based overclocking utility. But don't hold your breath on that.
