Primer On Overclocking


This is a nice overview on overclocking written by Bill O'Brien, formerly from "The Hard Edge." It details his experience with the Intel 640 processor.
I should have warned you earlier that overclocking doesn't necessarily give one a sense of satisfaction. All too often, it just increases the curiosity. So I hit the BIOS again. As well as the processor clock speed bumps, the options include Front Side Bus (FSB) adjustments. As before, just start at the beginning with an FSB of 887 and the DDR2 memory pushed just a bit to 667. Just for the heck of it, I also set the performance mode to Turbo.


It is a 3 part article, see Part I and Part II as well.
