Ussually can OC 5% more speed out of it. You will prolly be able to OC it to 850MHz.

You need to know the locations of the FSB and system multiplier to OC. Sometimes it's controlled in the BIOS.

What's your motherboard?

the motherboard has in big letters on it>>> MS-6340 VER:1

some other writing on top about processor says 'amd duron 800mhz with 200mhz FSB' fsb means something oesnt it, to do with overococking??

any more tips einstein??
cheers

Alright I found your board over with it's specs. http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_sp ... M&class=mb

FSB- Frequancy System Bus

Looks like the FSB is locked at 200HMz. Your system multiplier is currently set at 4, but pushing it to 4.5 would make the CPU run at 900MHz. I'm not really sure if you can have a stable system if you OC it to that. Do you have a manual that came with the board? I can't seem to find a manual on their site.

hey ben,cheers for the help you done wicked work. from what i read the duron 800 can easily be pushed to 950-1000mhz. so maybe its worht a go?
how would i go about changingthe multiplier value to 4.5?
cheers

Yea I just did some digging on your CPU and it is supposed to run fine at 1GHz. http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/duron800/page2.asp

Changing the system multiplier is ussually done by physically opening up your computer case and changing some jumper positions on your motherboard.

A jumper looks like this

Typically it would look like this on your mainboard

Looking for the correct jumper is a problem because I can't find a manual for your board on the net. What your looking for is a list of numbers in white text saying x1,x1.5,x2 etc. There should be one for x4, so see if there is one for x4.5 or x5. Next to it, it will say 8-10 or something simular. This is refering to the pin numbers the jumper should be placed on. Basicly on both sides of the pins are, it will label which side is odd and which is even. Eg
1 . . . . . 9
2 . . . . . 10

Good luck

If your not sure what your doing, I would just leave it alone

If you cant get into the advance setting in your BIOS, most likely your mother board has locked it so you cant over clock.

Some people claim they used certain software programs and was able to OC their brand name computers. I wouldnt know

there would be a jumper already there, so you wont need to buy one.

Changing the CPU speed in the BIOs can be done if your board supports it. The only board I've seen that supports it is my sister's p3. To access the BIOs you ussually press F1 or del. I'm pretty sure that if you can change the multiplier then it would be found in "Advanced" or simular.

PS: if you are going for performance then why not just upgrade the RAM? That's much more easier than OCing.

thanks again people, why not ram you say??good and valid question, but overcocking had sounded so much more interesting, and its free?of course it wont be free if i break the pc which is always a possibility due to my 'act first,hope for best, then consider what ive done' approach i assume whenever doing nething with elecltronic equipment.

i will try find this 4x and 5 x thing as simply moving a jumper sounds easyish to do?so i look for something that is over or next to a 4x
and i want to change the jumper to the pins where it say s 5x or 4.5 x?? on the motherucker?
i getting there slowly but surely, so i hope youre all hanging in there waiting for the explosion of pwer i am goin to tap into?
cheers

Moving a jumper is really just pulling the tiny thing out and putting it into another set of pins.

Your looking for a jumper than is over the pins that are for 4x. You would need to move the jumper to 4.5x or 5x. If you use 4.5x then your duron will be 900Mhz, and 5x it would be 1GHz. Seems fine to just go straight to 5x according to the link I posted earlier.

PS: One very important thing, make sure your PC is OFF when you are changing the jumpers. I would disconnect the power cord from the PC to make sure I won't press the power button by mistake.

okay i looked and looked and looked at all the tiny little chinese numbers, but there ws no 4x 4.5x 5 x, a few jumpers a bout, with some J's nearby. anyway i have amibios 1999 and i gunne check google for how to overclock my mohterboard?
surely it must be possible, after all this hard work???
can i defitaly not change the multilpier through bios somehow???
