Does the system work beautifully? Good.
Don't touch it. You've got 1.46Ghz... 1.48 isn't gonna do you much good. Be happy with what you have and don't risk doing damage to your processor. On a related note, as for overclocking, if you begin to play with the bus speed remember that it throws everything else in your system out of whack. moving from 133 to 135 to 137 changes your PCI from 33 to 34 to 35 and quite a few devices REALLY don't like leaving the default 33Mhz. However if you're planning on playing anyways, you will need to "fool" with the CPU volts as, as you increase the processor speed it will require more power to operate. The easiest way to do this, increase the speed a little at a time, and when the system becomes unstable, try givin it a little more juice. It will tell you if your CPU is the problem or another device. Finally, though your memory should be able to do it w/o a problem, when adjusting your FSB you will also be changing the speed at which your memory is opearting. It "Should" take atleat a few Mhz, but after that the higher you go the more likely you are to have issues. Hope that answers your questions. And for god sakes, don't over clock... I challenge you to find something which will run NOTICEBLY faster at 1.48 vs 1.46 NB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald Waugh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 2:34 PM Subject: [newbie] Athalon 1700+ running on Dragon Plus MB > This thing is running quite well and seems real snappy running X > Now I want to know about fine-tunning it. > What are people using for overclocking? > and what CPU Freq Multiplier? > I have the multiplier on AUTO, so I am not sure what speed the CPU is running > at. /proc/cpuinfo says 1.4 Ghz but I think it gets that from the CPU not > actual clock. > And do I want to fool with the cpu volts? > > I am not using overclocking, bus is set for 133 MHZ > TIA for any info > -- > Gerald Waugh > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com >
