Well, by reading the title you know that my comp sux. I've actually done almost everything before but overclocking, and i havnt got the slightest idea how....anyone mind explaining it to me?

Well, with a computer that old, your probably gonna have to rely on jumpers on the motherboard. Consult the mobo manual for the locations of the Multiplier and Bus jumpers, then move the bus up slowly. Id imagine you could get atleast 300Mhz without any problems.

:) cheers. yea ive seen the jumpers theres tons of em.

I got this problem too....
I got a Celeron 433 MHz and its on a slot 1...tried the jumpers on the board but the freq doesn't change at all and my MOBO hasnt got any multipliers and stuff like that..
Posted by: Kevin
Bit of a problem, turns out i was thinking of anothr computer :p my mobo doesn't have jumpers..it has 4 switches....which specify what speed processor you have in....So i set it to 266mhz just to see what happened. And i turned it on and all, and nothing comes up on the monitor....so i change it back to 233...and its fine....then i change it to 300mhz, and nothing on the screen again...i went on trying all of the other switches.....theonly one that shows up on the monitor is if its set up on 233mhz like it was originally...could there be some kinda safeguard type thing to stop people from overclocking? if so how the crap do i get by it cuz its stupid and i wanna overclock to atleast 300mhz.....
BTW: its a SLOT 1 Pentium II 233Mhz With MMX Technology....and the mobo is: GA-686BLX, PCI-ISA BUS (PENTIUM II PROCESSOR MAINBOARD)

Them can be multiplier-locked, which means reliance on FSB adjustments.
Posted by: Kevin
i looked in the BIOS and i saw nothing about adjusting the multipliers.....and dont see but like 2 jumpers on my mobo.
Posted by: Zagadka
As Kevin said its a slot 1 mobo and i tried those settings too ...well if it is multiplier locked then how do i do it...i guess thats the same problem with Kevin :D
Posted by: Kevin
oh well.....
Posted by: Zagadka
I have a slot 1 and the celeron 433 is placed as a FCPGA card in the slot...

i have a acer 60mhz Pentium I that someone can have if they want to overclock that.... im sure you could get it up to a whopping 90mhz if you tried hard enough :)

lol...who would want that? I just tore a whole 75Mhz Intel apart and I only kept the chip for looks on my computer desk next to my old fried AMD Athlon XP 1600! The intel chip is metal! :D
Posted by: Zagadka
really...who wants a 60Mhz chip...I bet my calculator works faster than that.....:D
Posted by: Martin
The Atari Jaguar my N64 run faster than that, but of course, it's RISC, but that wouldn't really matter here.
Posted by: Zagadka
Oh well...I have given up overclocking my machine...I know it will not go up the 433 mark...and my guess is that yours wont go up 233...

You guys have slow processors. Lol. Just kidding. I am not very good at over clocking. I have a 1.3GHz AMD Duron Processor and for some reason in runs faster then my friend's 3.06GHz with hyper threading. Thats really weird.

I would assume that is because AMD processors are FAR better then Pentiums. Besides, a CPU is definetly not the only factor that determines speed...
Can't you software overclock? or am I thinking of PocketPCs...
Speaking of a mere 60 MHz, my POCKETPC runs at more then twice that (206) overclockable to 300! :p no offense...besides, I still have an old 75 Mhz IBM Aptiva in the basement...it's been through many Operating systems...Win 3.1 to 95, then to reinstall that about 3 times as the drive requires reformats due to crashes.....then Mandrake Linux 8.6, where XServer couldn't run because of the low CPU and 8 megs of RAM, ....then back to 95...I don't think there's any OS on that 1 gig drive now!
How do you overclock laptops...is it even safe to overclock a 1.9GHz mobile P4 to 2.2 GHz?
Posted by: Wizard of OZ.'s
yeah i bet my ti calc will run more games than that thing. my personal computer is an IBM CrAptiva. it has a P2 233 on a mother moard that cant even handle a bigger processor.:( it has 192 mb of sdram and a 48X cdr-w drive. it cant even keep up with my burner.

it seems like a lot of people have or at least had shitty computers lol;) :D

LOL, my first comp was a NEC 133 with 32 megs o ram a 800 MB hdd and like a 16 meg video card
To current A7N8X DLX, AMD 2600+ @ 2.2 ghz 1 gig of ram an a 5900 FX Ultra. This comp is just slightly better hehe

i was talking to my dad about old pcs he said at one point to calculate how much ram you wanted you took the number or mg ram and multiplying it buy AU$1000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he even remembers when ram was mesured in kilobites!!!!!!!!!!!1 lol

hahahahahahahahahaha!, oh thats funny!! go to the hardware forum and look at the article under "the old debate" and youll see how untrue that is
and btw i have a p4 2.0GHz, do you guys think that is overclocked as far as (safely) possible? if not i want to try and move it up a little
my first computer was a 486 DX 33 that ran at 8MHz, unless you pushed the turbo button, then it ran at 33mhz (rofl) we upgraded it to 16 mb of ram, i remeber how fast that thing was, ahh the good old days, i still remember when intel released the P1 75MHz, i had one of those too, *sigh* and we thought they were so fast, lol!
