Hey guys. What would be the best overclock for my system? It wont burn out, ive got good ventilation. Here are the specs max FSB:160MHz max Multiplier:12.5 What would be the best mix between performance and reliability, speed etc. My Rig: 1040Mhz Pentium 3 OC'd at 1.2Ghz Aopen MX3WPRO-E mobo Intel 810 chipset Onboard Graphics Not sure how many MB 128mb RAM 120GB Maxtor Hard Drive My Old Rig: AMD K6 400Mhz

You can't change the multiplier...all you can do is raise the FSB. If you don't have the option to lock the PCI bus at 33MHz, 150MHz would be the max before PCI got to far outta spec. Your PC133 RAM would have to be able to run at the higher speed as well...it usually maxes out between 140-145MHz. It's not a great board: http://global.aopen.com.tw/products/mb/mx3wpro-e.htm ASUS A7N8X-X Athlon XP 1800+ 8.5 x 200MHz 1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro SP2

yeah, its not agreat one. Can you recommend some ram for my computer? As far as I know, the maximum is 512Mb, but what brand should i get?

From the link above: Support : PC133 SDRAM SDRAM DIMM x 2 DIMM Type : 8/16/32/64/128/256MB Max Memory : 512MB You can only install up to 256MB per slot & it MUST be low density RAM...high density RAM will not work. Unfortunately, almost ALL RAM produced these days is high density. Low denisty PC133 is very expensive & is NOT worth the investment. If you insist on doing it, plan on spending about $75 for a single 256MB stick: http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.asp?Mfr%2BProductline=A+Open%2B+Motherboards&mfr=A+Open&tabid=AM&model=MX3W+Pro-E&submit=Go ASUS A7N8X-X Athlon XP 1800+ 8.5 x 200MHz 1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro SP2

"If you insist on doing it, plan on spending about $75 for a single 256MB stick" if you are open to eBay purchasing, you can get TWO low density 256mb PC133 sticks for about $50, before shipping. if you want to boost graphics performance too, DEFINITELY get a 64mb GFX card, like a Radeon 8500 or similar. i have a Radeon 9200 128mb in my rig: 1.0ghz P3 512mb PC133 120gb WDC 7200rpm 8mb cache hard drive ATI Radeon 9200 AGP 128mb overclocked you are lucky your board will let you over clock, though, mine wont. LOL. when you say max multiplier is 12.5x what it actually is now? anyway, yeah i would set the FSB at 145-150mhz. If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.
