Just did a quick google search and came up with this :\n\nhttp://www.amdboard.com/ocspecial.html\n\nI have never really over clocked anything as that tends to shorten its life span since it isnt meant to run at the higher speeds.

Hi erik\nI tried this feat about a year ago and so far it has turned out spactaculer. Except for the fact that I bought a cheap motherboard and have to buy a new one.\n\nThe way I started was by downloading and printing out one of the booklets online.\n\nLet me just look for one now...\n\nhttp://www.tomshardware.com/2002/09/04/building_your_own_pc/\n\nthis site looks detailed and plenty of pictures, pictures are the key\n\nIt took nearly 3 months for me to complete it\nand installed the box last (cause the box I had was not the right shape) for about a month I was running with the power box outside the main box which was tricky. \n\nWhen it is complete though it is one of the most satisfying things and you learn so much. Just a side note you must know how to format and must have practise. You probably know that though.\n\nBiulding my computer is one of my best accomplishments and earned me a place to skip 3 grades to computer technology 12\n\nas for no lag you will need a faster internet connection which you have to pay quite a bit for\n\nAs for the cheapest setup\n\nI went pretty cheap first which I later found was a mistake. Pay cheap but get the custimizable motherboard. Dont make the mistake I did and get the one where they will stop making proccessors for in 2 months time. Also I found that I ripped out all the ram from my other computers and loaded this one with it providing me with 1.5 gigs of ram and 3 extra big hard drives. So interchangabilty is key. I got the case and videocard over christmas but I know they were fairly cheap and the video card (Geforce 5500) has allowed me to play tons of games.

Overclocking Your Processor\nWARNING: Overclocking of any kind voids all manufacturer warranties and can depreciate the life expectancy of your component.\nWARNING: Overclocking is dangerous and can result in a dead/fried processor.\nCAUTION: Take it slow, overclock in subtle amounts, and always check the stability of your current overclocked settings through a benchmarking/stability utility.\nWith those warnings out of the way, Welcome to the Overclocking Guide for Processors! Most likely you won't fry your processor, but it does happen, and increasing the frequency of your processor by too much can result in a dead processor. Be sure to always monitor the temperature of your CPU during overclocking and don't exceed the manufacturer's recommended operating temperature. Remember, the temperature will increase with activity and strenuous programs, so I suggest downloading a program that will load your computer while monitoring the processor temperature (e.g. Prime95). Replacing the stock heat-sink/fan with a good $50 heat-sink/fan will drastically reduce your processor temperatures.\n\nTerms to Know:\n\nCPU Clock/FSB: This is the frequency of your processor.\nCPU Ratio/Multiplier: This is the multiplication factor used with the CPU Ratio/FSB to determine the end processor frequency.\nHTT Multiplier/FSB Multiplier/LTD Bus Frequency: This is the multiplication factor used with the CPU Ratio/FSB to determine the operating FSB frequency. Standard factors are 5X/1GHz, 4X/800Mhz, 3X/600MHz, 2X/400MHz, 1X/200MHz.\n\n\nA note: This tutorial is guided for AMD 64-bit processors. They are the most complicated to overclock, so if you can overclock an AMD 64, you can overclock anything. Remember though that not every processor is overclockable, AMD and Intel alike. Also note that many Intel processors have a locked CPU Ratio/FSB Multiplier.\nLet's Get Started:\n\n1) Max Memory Speed\n\nThe first step is to determine how fast your memory can go. This is done so that when overclocking we know that an excessive memory speed isn't what is causing instability problems.\n\nA) First drop down your CPU Ratio/Multiplier down two spots. (If at 11X, drop it to 9X)\n\nB) Set your AGP/PCI lock to 33/67 respectively if you have this option in the BIOS.\n\nC) Set the HTT Multiplier/FSB Multiplier/LTD BUS Frequency to 4X/800Mhz. This multiplication factor multiplied by the CPU Clock's FSB cannot be greater than your motherboards FSB specification. So if your motherboards FSB is 1000MHz and your CPU Clock/FSB is at 200MHz and your multiplier is at 5X your at 1000MHz. But if you raise the CPU Clock/FSB as we are going to while keeping the multiplier at 5X, we will be over the 1000MHz limit and we will run into stability issues.\n\nD) Disable the Cool n' Quiet feature prevalent on AMD boards if it is enabled.\n\nE) Disable Spread Spectrum\n\nF) Save your settings and boot to Windows.\n\nG) Using ClockGen, let it raise your memory speeds automatically or do it manually at 5Mhz increments (If at 200MHz, set it to 205MHz.).\n\nH) Do this until it locks up or artifacts appear. Record this number.\n\nI) On lockup, reboot your PC into BIOS.\n\nJ) Set you CPU Clock/FSB to the number prior to your recorded number. (If doing 5MHz steps, 5MHz less than your recorded number.\n\nK) Save your settings and boot to Windows.\n\nL) Run all tests on Memtest86 one time to check for errors. If you get any errors they will present themselves as red lines at the bottom of the window. Upon seeing these lines, reboot into BIOS. Go to step M). If you don't see these lines, go to step N).\n\nM) Lower your CPU Clock/FSB down by 3MHz, save and boot into Windows. Then run Memtest86 again. Do this until you receive no errors. Skip step N).\n\nN) Raise your CPU Clock/FSB up by 1 MHz, save and boot into Windows. Then run Memtest86 again. Do this until you receive an error. Upon receiving the error, lower the CPU Clock/FSB down to its prior stable state. Recor

I have six pc's and I use them all with that same Motherboard in all It good. I overclock it so it is even faster then it is now. I like amd but I never use it!

over clocking is easy but should be done carefully there are programs you can download to help.  If you have a nvidia card use ntune.  Overcocking is mainly done in the bios by hitting del. at starup. power bios features for overclocking cpu and video card and adjusting voltages.  need to adjust voltages to reflect new power needs.  dram config. to o/c your ram also adjust voltages.  overclocking should be done in steps one or two mhz at a time and stretched out over time to watch for system instability.  overclocking adds heat and can put alot of stress on your pc.  alot of times if you dont know what your doing dont do it. or let someone else do it.

You if you do it right!, if you are going to O/C a card you need to achieve BALANCE this is done by SLOWLY increasing MHz and VOLTS and most IMPORTANT COOLING but saying that the fans on most cards can Handel some O/C ing, but balance includes checking, checking and more checking this can take days but then to my mind the only way to O/C is to O/C the whole PC,- Motherboard, Graphics Card, CPU, anything that has Chip management, but back to your card, increase in stages of on more than 5 then test, SR 9600 256Mb will rip up say (Doom 3) without a lot of O/C, good luck Cybercat UK.

The last time I checked Intel motherboards do not allow overclocking...they lock the frequency multiplier and do not allow it to be changed...that is why most people use Abit and Asus boards.

ah there correct but 10% us okay to overclock maximum is about 20%... but i warn you if you overclock your cpu or your comptuer warranty will be cut off and it wont exist anymore for you.... here i can give you all the info. you need hold on....\n\n\n\n\nPC Hardware: Free Speed: Overclocking Your PC\nPerformance Boosting Basics\nWant a free speed boost for your computer? Try a little overclocking--an enthusiast trick that PC tweakers have been using for years to get free speed out of their systems. Many of today's CPUs can run faster than they're rated to do, and getting that added performance is simply a matter of carefully changing some settings. Overclocking won't turn an ancient PC into a powerhouse, but it can help you squeeze every drop of performance out of your machine.\nTwo variables set the speed at which your CPU runs: the system bus speed, and the CPU's clock multiplier. To determine the CPU's actual operating speed, those two values are multiplied together. For instance, a bus speed of 100 MHz and a multiplier value of 5.5 translate to a CPU running speed of 550 MHz. This simple formula works with most Intel Celeron, Pentium II, Pentium III, and Pentium 4 chips, as well as with AMD chips.\nSome motherboard and CPU combinations let you change one or both of those variables, setting a new speed for the CPU. Boost either setting and you're officially overclocking. In my experience, most CPUs and motherboards will run fine when overclocked 10 to 20 percent faster than the rated CPU speed. The bus speed setting may also affect the speed of the PCI or AGP bus, depending on which chip set the motherboard uses and how that chip set connects to all of the subsystems on the board.\nThe trick to overclocking is in knowing when to stop. Crank up the speed completely beyond the operating limits of the CPU, system bus, or RAM, and the PC will crash or freeze a lot. If you've set the clock too high on a system that holds the clock settings in BIOS, it may fail to boot, and you'll have to use the PC Setup program to reset the clock settings stored in CMOS RAM. (In some cases, you may have to reset the CMOS RAM more directly: Either remove the CMOS memory retention battery, typically a button-style cell, or move a jumper on the system board; that jumper is often marked 'clear CMOS'.) If your PC uses switches or jumpers to set clock and multiplier values, you'll simply need to reset them to a slower speed.\n\nCPU Overclocking the Easy Way\nThe PC Setup program screen in Figure 1 is from an Abit KA7 motherboard that offers lots of overclocking controls when the CPU Operating Speed is set to 'User Define'. The CPU FSB/PCI Clock setting also affects the speed of the PCI bus. I have found that most PCI cards will overclock about as well as the average CPU does.\nOverclocking the AMD Athlon XP+ 2600 processor on my ECS KT-600A motherboard involves just one setting. The multiplier in the Athlon XP+ 2600 processor is fixed at 11.5, allowing a CPU speed range between 1910 MHz (166 x 11.5) and 2288 MHz (199 x11.5). The Athlon XP+ 2600 runs at 1900 MHz typically, but the chip I tested worked well when overclocked to 2200 MHz.\nCPU Overclocking by the Bits\nBefore designers made CPU speed settings changeable via software, switches or jumpers on the motherboard controlled the speed. You'll find this arrangement typical of early (3 to 4 years old or older) AMD, Pentium I and II, and Celeron boards. Over clocking with switches and jumpers works in the same way as using settings in PC Setup: You simply increment the multiplier and bus speed settings to speed up the processor until you find a reliable running speed.\nThe CPU clock speed setting also affects the AGP bus speed on this board. Other motherboards use DIP switches (Figure 4) for both the CPU clock speed and the multiplier settings.\nVideo Overclocking Made Easy\nMost of the overclocking buzz is not about turning a PC into a superco

go with amd they work great (turion 64)

possibly 3.1ghz but be careful i tried overclocking myself once and it didn't go too well

Any of these will make you one super happy man :)\n\nI also believe you have an AGP port instead of PCI-Express\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=1069609639&Submit=ENE&Description=geforce+6600gt&Ntk=all\n\nHere is a link of how it performs in 3dmark.\nIt gets a pretty good score. Although a 6200 is also a great card as you  can see the 6600gt is about 3 times as fast as the 6200.\nhttp://www.tomshardware.com/2005/12/02/vga_charts_viii/page18.html

The term 'overclocking' describes the process of running your CPU at a clock and/or bus speed that the CPU hasn't been specified for - logically, that speed is usually higher.\n\nThe tempting idea behind overclocking is to increase system performance at very little cost. In many cases you only need to change a few settings on your motherboard to make your system run faster. In other cases you only have to add a few components (usually for cooling) to achieve the performance increase.\n\nAlthough there are millions of tales of damaged CPUs and other system components, in most cases overclocking is completely harmless. There are, however, a few things to take into consideration.\n\nYou can read more on:\nhttp://www.tomshardware.com/1997/01/02/overclocking_guide/\nhttp://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/cpuoverclocking/index.html

So set your clock to its normal rating and install the OS, check it out, and if things are fine, then overclock and compare.  Could be that there is some other problem, and you should be getting an error report in Event viewer [under Administrative Tools] that you can examine.
