socket 7 is old skool, but the performance is sooo slow that it doesnt make any difference lol

socket a cloking can actually yeild very good results (as hopefully we'll find out)

Well, it is what, 8 years old now?

In computing terms that is very old

Are you saying you're unfamiliar with older generations of technology?

Nothing more satisfying than seeing an old machine performing faster, when overclocked. :cool:

Not that i am unfamiliar no...

But, correct me if i am wrong here, 8 years is a long time for computers.

Oh, and I am only 16 myself so it is a long time for me too!

What is it with people thinking I am trying to say more than i have typed lately :confused:

Maybe it is, but I remember the days of pushing a 25MHz 486 SX to 33MHz and 40MHz. :cool:

Now THAT was a speed increase. Not like today, where people just overclock for 3DMarks. You could actually feel the difference. :cool:

Im sure you would feel the diference getting a 1ghz duron to 1.8ghz if it were running XP

Especially when you see your mate play on it after hes sweated it out through watching you fiddle with the bios.And he never even knew it could be done.Thought i was god he did.500mhz increase on 1700+ (cant remember stepping but nice chip)
geforce 4ti200 to ti500 speeds. hehe
