bluhound Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) Cyrix processors are not recommended for overclocking. Furthermore, a gain of 33 Mhz does not show any improvements. Edited October 18, 2006 by bluhound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Furthermore, a gain of 33 Mhz does not show any improvements.Apart from boasting "Hey! I've got a Cirix 233 running at 266!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 They're known to run hot already at normal speed, and die suddenly when overclocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awergh Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 ok maybe i shouldnt, and its only a normalish fan and heatsink, what was the thing about green heatsinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonestonne Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 not to mention Mandrake can easily run on a 233...that is unless you decide to run everything all at once in the same window... linux doesn't need a fast computer to run well...thats usually a windows OS thing...

But seriously, I've got two linux boxes at home, both running Debian; one is a 300MHz P2 and the other is a 500MHz AMD-K6. Both have around 128MB to 192MB of RAM and work great... No overclocking needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitroshift Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Linux can run on a toaster and still work fine.How did you manage to link the cd-rom to it so you can install linux? Was it bluetooth?

awergh Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 wow what a toastermy main problem with the cirix 233Mhz is that it takes 5-10 minutes to boot upbut i have a new question now.can i overclock an 866Mhz P3 or a 700Mhz Celeron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonestonne Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 you can overclock almost anything in a computer with a clock rate. its just is it safe to do so.whats this P3 running? if its booting linux, 700 or 866 doesn't make a difference. you said you were using mandrake, why not try ubuntu? just a different grub environment. still good ol' linux. ubuntu can boot in about 2 minutes or less on a 1.1GHz processor [from experience] and about 1 minute on a 1.4GHz processor. is it a server or a just a normal linux installation?
