much of this is way over my head, but I want to learn.
my primary usage is Autocad, not gaming. I am satisfied with my setup, although people here are used to better stuff...... simple question: how does one overclock the proc and how much of an increase in speed might be reasonable to expect? (using Belarc) Processor: 1.60 gigahertz AMD Pentium 4 64 kilobyte primary memory cache 256 kilobyte secondary memory cache Main Circuit Board: Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC. 'K8N' Rev 1.xx Bus Clock: 200 megahertz BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 1009 09/06/2005 Memory Modules 512 Megabytes Installed Memory 754 socket, Sempron 2800 (if memory serves) with Nvidia chipset board claims 800 for the FSB but the bus clock says 200 note in Belarc says: Data may be transferred on the bus at one, two, or four times the Bus Clock rate. well, 4 times 200 would be 800 mghz.... make me feel stupid, please. I can get over that. ignorance is expensive. thanks |

Belarc isn't very bright is he?:-) Main Circuit Board: Board: ASUSTeK Computer INC.

I can get over that. ignorance is expensive. Sempron 2800+ has a locked multiplier of 8x max. the system clock is 200MHz, so 8x200=1600MHz (1.6GHz). To overclock this ssytem you have to raise the system clock. To do that to any extent, you have to lower the HT link and ram bus base speeds to compensate since they will overclock with the system clock. I've type complete details here many times. I'm done. Use google and search back through this group or simple search for overclocking Sempron 754 2800+ on yahoo or whatever. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php |
