Hi all.
Right then, off i go with my first question.
I have an old pc that i built about 8-9 years ago now, (i wasnt into overclocking then), im looking to overclock it purely to see whats involved in overclocking and to see what extra i can get out the CPU.
I am planning on building a new system in a few months with all the latest hardware.
Right, i have and Athlon XP 2400 AXDA2400DKV3C, An MSI KT4V (version 1) motherboard, 2GB of Crucial pc2700 ram. Maxtor ata133 7200 80 GB hdd, ibm ata100 5400 60 gb hard drive, Geforce Ti 4200 AGP 8X and a creative labs sound card.
Now i know the following (please correct if im wrong) : the xp 2400 is a 133/266 stock fsb chip. The mobo supports a fsb of 166/333.
What is my aim?? ....is my aim to see if i can get the cpu to 166/333 fsb and then start to see if i can get it faster using the multipliers OR - should i be aiming to see if i can go beyond the the 166/333 fsb before even thinking about the multipliers.
btw, i have unlocked the multipliers on the cpu using the paint mod. it is 133 x15 by default but now i can change the mutliplier from 6.5 to 12.5.
your words of wisdom will be eagerly awaited - thank you
