I believe SpeedFan can mess with clock settings but it requires very specific info about your motherboard and setup (plus, I forgot what the URL to download is). Can you not do it through BIOS? If it is hard-coded into the BIOS nothing will be able to change it (like mine :cry.

its possible, but not likley, I can give you a program but you need to know the exact specs of your pc or you will ruin your cpu.


http://www.almico.com/speedfan425.exe ?it will be under the second tab.. make sure you put your board in there, it may not even have your board. ? It is alot easier to overclock a video card through windows, but not to many programs to overclock the cpu through windows

LOL, do you have that bookmarked or something?

here is a basic run down of my system

From this i'm hoping that someone might be able to give me the optimal setup regarding settings.

OK, first order of business GET SERVICE PACK 2.

Naw you dont need sp2 no one does lol. Dang sp2 sucks.. Just download the speedfan and see if your board is on there. Other than that you will have to overclock through the bios, which is pretty easy to do unless your's is a dell or gateway e.t.c

From that infor you cant do nothing... That stuff is just whats in your pc.. reboot press esc or F1 whatever you use to get into your bios, go to clock settings change the FSB by 10 press F10 save and exit and run siosoft sandra's cpu tester for its course then go up by anoth 10. only way to do it without breaking somthing :-D

am i really gonna benefit from SP2, baring in mind that my copy of xp is exactly that ?:wink:
