Overclocking CPU??? 1

[gussy1]

I have a PIII 866MHz that a few years old. I want to try overclocking it and want someone to tell me exactly how to do it well.

Cheers

1. It will depend on your motherboard how (and if) you can overclock it.

2. Try Google (on overclocking) - there's lots of sites.

3. Remember you're likely to get problems (eg, your operating system won't boot), if you overclock too much.

4. I doubt you'll be able to notice the difference (I don't mean measure it, but see it) after overclocking.

Good luck.

Thanks Wolluf - I'm not sure that I should even bother!

Could you help me with the question I posted about User access to folders. I basically don't want a user having ANY access to a certain folder but I DO want that user' log-off script to be able to write to that same folder!
If I give SYSTEM access, does that help?

Many thanks Wolluf

Is this local scripts we're talking about?
I tried something along the lines you mentioned - didn't work - no access. However, I'm not a scripting expert - someone else may have a solution for you.

I have an Asus TUSL2-C motherboard that can handle up to a 1.4 Gig (Tulatin Core) Celeron/PIII. I use a 1.2 Gig Celeron with the 256k L2 Cache and it works great. You can probably find a new PIII motherboard that can handle the newer PIII/Celeron CPU's up to 1.4 Gig that doesn't break the bank too much. The PC133 memory is priced one half of the price for DDR. There may be some new PIII motherboards that can run off of DDR Memory also. I think Asus had a motherboard like that but I have never seen it for sale.

Probably cheaper to just buy an AMD motherboard based on the older KT266A VIA chipset like the Asus A7V266-E (AA) and use PC2100 memory. If you do not like my post feel free to point out your opinion or my errors.

Yeah Wolluf, it is a local script. I just figured that there must be some way to allow the system access the folder during log-off when the user has no further access to anything! To me it would not be a security breach provided that the user in question could not write his own script to access the folder that I am not granting him access to.

Thanks anyway.

I had great results with overclocking, eventhough it was a Duron "designed for overclocking" they should have as a logo

I have a P3 667 that I run at 5 * 142 (710Mhz). Not a big oc, but the advantage is more bandwidth with the 142Mhz fsb.

Just go into your bios or set your jumpers on the mobo to increase the fsb. This is the only way to oc because the multiplier is locked on your P3 866. Your cpu would be 6.5 * 142Mhz for 923Mhz. Again, not a big jump in mhz, but the increased bus speed will increase benchmarks or gaming x::0:0::::

The rise in FSB is most of the goal with overclocking, not just clock speed. If you're at 100mhz and you overclock to 133, then you should make sure you have 133mhz RAM and then the whole system will speed up. If you're speeding up you CPU but other components are bottlenecking the system, there's no point overclocking at all. Check your memory speed and consider.
