keytotime Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 If bios can't do it then it can't be done. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bart of borg Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Open up the case and see if you have any dip switches for the front side bus speed setting......if not, your toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 You get utilities specifically for this.... it will go in and change the timer clocking so as to increase frequency of the processor.As is obvious:Me got no idea.Means that you better not do any of this yourself....

puntoMX Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 @ sonu27,Give me the numbers on the DIMM chips so I can see what timings they have, alos I think the 64MB one is much slower in most cases then the new 512MB one (or 2x 256Mb?).Buy a new cooler before you start over clocking. I think you can get your CPU like 10% higher on standard voltage, but see if it´s worth it.Before I had a Celeron II (P3 with 128kB cache) on 600MHz pushed up to 1132MHz but I needed to get it up to 2 volts to get is work and a nice cooler (I did it with a Thermaltake Super Orb and removed the upper fan (it has 2 fans)) with coper based contact plate and "silver" thermal paste (for example Artic Silver). And like prathapml is saying, there are nice clock generator tools to overclock your system. The only thing you need to do is to find out which clock-gen. is used on your mobo.

sonu27 Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Thanks people!Well, then I better not attempt it.I think I shall just leave it as there is not easy way of doing it.And I'm not going to spend money on a cooler.Maybe, in the near future I will build a PC.Got a lot of guides, LOL.Thanks again!

radiognome Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 as said, check for dip switches.. check your motherboard manual..i'll suggest you read some articles about overclocking so that you'll know the basics (what to do to overclock and what to do when you fail to)unless you burn your CPU, nothing bad will happen, but be sure you have enough info as i said.i don't know about your motherboard (others said you have no luck though) you may want to try googling with your motherboard model and a few keywords like overclock etc to see what others did...

sonu27 Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 I never got a manual with my PC.Never mind.I will overclock a new PC in the future which I will build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Use nLite! That'll "OC" any computer...I've set up my parent's work laptop (P-III 750, 128MB RAM) on their island with an nLited XP CD, and the thing just screams! (at least for what they need... e-mail, internet). Used nLite and disabled prefetching (they don't care about boot times...).Edit: If you're using 512MB + 64MB of RAM, I'd say just ditch the 64MB chip. I've found that computers don't really like dealing with different RAM chips that are very different in size. My desktop wasn't really happy with 512+128, but it was fine with either. I've seen this kind of behaviour in other computers as well. I'd say chips that are double the size of each other is the limit (i.e. 128 +256 or 256+512, etc).

sonu27 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Could anyone help me find the motherboard model?I seached on google could not find anything.Please help?I using speedfan to clock computer.Just a test but I need the motherboard model and number.Thanks!

prathapml Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Why not use Everest (successor of AIDA-32) to find out this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonu27 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Thanks might give it a try.Any OC programmes that are very good and safe?Not nLite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 By its very definition, OC = unpredictable/untested.There are utils by MoBo makers, but you can't use those with your HP machine.nLite is not an "OC" app - its for stripping out the bloat from XP which results in better speed.

sonu27 Posted March 15, 2005 Author Share Posted March 15, 2005 Well I do what nLite does on my own. Thanks anyway!Peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
