i got a amd 1700+ and i wanna overclock it . can you tell me how far i can overclock my processor btw i got crappy 2100 ram this is what it says on the core AMD ATHLON AXDA1700DUT3C 9269327260686 JIUCB 02515PMW (M) (C) 1999 AMD btw the processor is unlocked from the factory
i got my athlon xp 1700+ palamino core up to 1.6ghz was 8x200mhz i joined the L1 bridge to unlock multipliers i also had pc2100 ram, if i had better ram i think i cudda got up to about 205 - 210 fsb
all CPUs overclock differntly. you will have to overclock slowly, by trial and error. also depends on your cooling... and motherboard. also there is no point running 200+mhz FSB if you only have pc2100 ram. i'd invest in some Pc3200 or better. Getting past 2ghz should be easy check out: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=51323&page=1
do you think i can overclock my processor high like other people did with their's if i get geil golden dragon 3700 2x256 memory im paying abt £80 quid for this memory is thisk ok for the price or can you recommend any other memory for the same price btw i wanna overclock so i need a good memory i read some reviews about golden dragon and they seemed to be the best overclockers in the roundup
Several comparisons show that the high end brands of RAM (Geil, Corsair, etc) give little advantage (2-3% performance) over good old crucial RAM. You'd be better off saving the money for a new chip (mobile barton 2500 is only £60-70), motherboard or graphics card.
