overclocking

Silverthorn

I have a PII 350 mhz and I'm would like to try overclocking it a little bit. What would it be safe to overclock it to and how would i do it?

Its safe to overclock it as long as it runs completely stable, and cool (i.e not much hotter than before.). The 350mhz speed is gotten by multiplying the motherboard speed which is 100mhz, by a fixed multiplier 3.5 If your motherboard lets you change the front side bus speed, you can overclock it. If not, there is a way to fool the early p2 350's into thinking they are on a 66mhz bus, which means you could change the multiplier. Thats highly unlikely though, so your only hope really is that your motherboard lets you change the bus speed, either in the bios or with jumpers. Theres a possibility you would be able to adjust the speed in windows also, with a special program. Let us know what make machine it is, and I can advise further.

i was talking to the guy im getting the ram off and he was saying that it isnt a good idea to over-clock it

im getting 64mb ram fr christmas witha cd writer and im going to get a 500 mhz in a few months and that should do for a while

Well, unless he has tried to overclock it himself, he's just selling you a scare story about overclocking. Most decent quality ram will overclock to 112mhz at least.

Overclocking your best bet is to invest in a good motherboard like the k7 2 reasons for this is 1 its easy to overclock thro softmenu and also if you want to uprade your cpu later on its also a peice of cake.Ok the inital outlay may be tough going but in the long run itll save you loads in the race to keep up.

ps Ive got my 1 gig tbird running at 1.1 its rumured to be able to go faster than 1.2 but for some reason my system hangs at 1.2 so im not sure if the ram can do 112mhz as this is the setting im useing in softmenu [user difine] clockmultiplier set to 12!! Do i need to up the core vaults do you think ? im useing a fop 38 fan to cool me chip btw 7000 rpm hehehe bloody tower hovers 2 inches of the floor
