could some one tell me how to go about overclocking a system as it is an old dinosaur that doesnt support a very fast processor and it doeant run too fast. I got it relatively cheap so I am not too worried about damageing any hardware but it makes a good means to learn on because it is nearly disposable if need be.
my system is an old dell optiplex gx 100 with a dell gx 100 motherboard it has an Intel celeron A processor that is a 433mhz processor,however it is only running at around 431 mhz. THe multiplier is set at 6.5x witha cpu fsb at 66.45 mhz (originally 66 mhz).
I am getting my information because I downloaded Everest home version. If anyone knows of a more useful utility program let me know so I can download it.
This system also has only 126 mb Sdram installed I plan on upgrading it to 252 in the near future since I found a site that sells the increased memory for this system.
but even that wont speed it up too much so I want to learn how to overclock it .I dont know what the wattage of the power supply but I suspect it is just barely enough to get by.:O
Thanx in advance for any help that you can give me.]) ]) :D :?

if you want to speed the system up i would dump that celeron cpu for a p3 450 upwards upgrade the ram to 512

if this is the same system that you asked for the video driver for and its the intel 810 chipset this can run at the 100/133 fsb it must be that celeron cpu that has limited the system to 66.
its a long time since i worked on any of these old dells but that chipset should support socket 370 what cpu socket do you have on the board ?

have a look at ebay in what ever country you are from for second hand cpu and ram.

you are absolutely correct in your guess about socket 370 on the board.
As for the memory Tiger direct still carries memory for an older system but not the cpu for it as it is no longer made so I will take your advice about ebay.thanx I would have never thought of that.;p
