do we have any pc geeks here?

[raggie33]

well post ya overclcok speed well i have a amd that normaly runs at 1740 mhz.but i overclcok it to 2426 mhz

 

[Mr. Bombastic]

That's quite an overclock! Do you use any watercooling?

My 2000+ (don't laugh /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) is running at stock because of my lack of ability to even buy a decent CPU fan at the moment.

[raggie33]

[raggie33]

celeron 300a@504 24/7 for 5 years.
still stable.sold it to a friend last year and he runs photoshop all day on it without a hitch.
2x p!!! 600@800 in a vp6 24/7 3 years.i recapped it when i got it and have never seen a freeze or bsod in win2k
the other 3 boxes are serverworks chipset duallies that dont have overclocking options.
but who needs it with 2x p!!! 1.4 with 512k cache and u320 raid5?

2Ghz AMD here, 133mhz FSB, ATI Radeon 7000 series dual-head with a coupl'a different video input cards. No overclocking here as I'm not a gamer; I just need it for video stuff, and the speed is fairly adequate as-is. AMDs run hot anyway, so I prefer to keep them calm and content.

 

[raggie33]

i wanna go for 2500 mhz!!! i know i can do it if my ram didnt crap out at around 173 fsb my ram is at 7 3 3 2 if i recall maybe ill try 2.5and raise the fsb or get some kick but winbond memory. i edit lots of stuff so i need a fast pc l;ast night i changed all my mp3s to atracs for my mini disk player

I have XP pro, and a few large hard drives waiting to be installed.

I hope I won't need overclocking. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif I'll be doing some video work as well. Hopefully this will leave me some room to upgrade.

 

[david_winstanley]

if heavy video work - id go for a Gig of ram.

 

[geepondy]

Never tried it. I have a Intel P4, 2.26g, 533mhz bus and Asus oh what is it now, the 845PE chipset board, forget the name. Is there potential for overclocking?

I'm definately getting more ram, I had a very tight budget and this combo was all I could afford at the time. When I get a few extra bucks I'll get a 1 gig chip so I'll have a gig and a half ram. The MoBo can handle 3 gigs total.

 

[geepondy]

It's good Corsair memory but only PC2700/DDR333. I know faster is available now.
