Thumbs up JUST OC'ed MY '97 PC!!! MAJOR DIFFERENCE!

Hey guys,

I OC'ed my 200MXX and it runs at 225MHz ritenow!!! My PCI increased from 33 to 37.5 MHz, but my PCI graphics and Audio are still working fine!

I notice major difference in performance! Scrolling big websites goes smoothly now... !!! Hope it wont overheat

If it runs OK I will OC it further to 250MHz....seeya

Cool!
We have an old Pentium Pro at work that runs at a mind-blowing 200MHz, maybe i should try to overclock that pile of s***. It would be nice to open an application an not have to wait 2 minutes for it to load.

Half-Life 1 will run on that, will be a little choppy, but it will run. So will Quake 2 and Hexen 2.
