newbie to overclocking
Hi
How can I tell if my old system can be overclocked? I would like to use it to play around with different OS's, but it is quite slow. It is a socket 5 Pentium 133 processor. I am not sure what kind of MB it is though. If someone could tell me if it is possible, I would greatly appreciate it. If more info is needed, tell me what you need & where to find it. TIA |

This is an older system. I am assuming it was a whole gateway sys. It is
in a gateway 2000 case, registered to gateway, IBM PC/AT, ISA system bus, American Megatrends BIOS (4/30/96) version 1.00.11BS0T. I just found this info, that is why it was not included in original post. thanks. "dr_hardwrae" wrote in message t... "hu man" hu wrote in message ...

TIA What kind of system? Home brew or brand name. Who makes the MB and what model is it? |

They are not overclockable at all. There is no provision for it in the BIOS or in the MB hardware. |
