Body of Message: Running a new rig I had built and have found my CPU was running a wopping 1.008 MgHx, I currently have made changes and now have the following set up , My question is Can I change any of thses setting to a faster set up ( o/c )? AMD Athlon XP 2500+, External CLK @ 166 MHz, Muliplier Factor @ X11.o, FSB/Drm Ratio 5/3 (200 MHz) ALSO can I change the FSB Spread Spectrum from its current 0.50% and the AGP spread from 0.50% AND the Enhance Thremal-Throttling from 50.0% ( cappable to run from 12.0-87.5%) ? Any and all help ??

1) You state you run at 166MHz x 11 at 1.08GHz. 166MHz at 11x is about 1.8GHz which in fact is the true speed of a 2500+ Athlon. So, which is it? 1.8GHz or 1.08GHz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2) Im assuming you are currently running at 1.8Ghz now, OK? So, in order to overclock, You simply raise the mulitplyer or FSB, which ever one in a combination. Like, I would go with a 333MHz FSB x 6 at about 2GHz, 7 is too much though. 6.5 may be ine if you mainboard will let you go at .5's Current Rig AMD Athlon 64 2.2GHz/400MHz 4GB DDR 400MHz 7X 120GB on SCSI RAID0 2x 300GB on IDE0 52X24X52X CD-RW IDE1 16X52X DVD-ROM IDE1 ATI 256Mb AGP 8X 19" LCD SB Live

I'm too old to understand a question written in kiddie chat but I'll take a stab at it. You have a jumper on the motherboard set at 100Mhz. Changes you make (or try to make) in bios have no effect. It's in your motherboard manual. I hope you can read better than you type, spell and construct sentences. Good luck Skip
