Hello,
How can I over clock my CPU? Intel Pentium 3.4 D 4MB Cache.. and anyone there did this before with exact CPU? Till what can I OC it?
Regards,
AJ

first of all no one can help you if you don't most full specs meaning
motherboard
psu watts/12v amps
ramI don't know what an intel pentium 3.4 D with 4mb of cache is, but Intel never made it.
Unless you are talking about intel Core 2 Duo at 2.4ghz with 4mb of cache.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ OC 2.7ghz
2GB Dual Channel DDR 3200
Nvidia 7900GT
SATA II 2x 300gig 7200rpm 16mb cache RAID-0
Gigabyte Nforce 4 SLI

You have other problems to straighten out 1st. O/C'ing your CPU & video card won't fix the issues you've been posting about in the gaming forum.

It has 2x2MB L2 cache total of 4MB....
"Manufacturer/Model: Intel 975XBX2"
It seems like you have a good motherboard for overclock, so I will start with raising the FSB 10Mhz increment starting from 200Mhz. Be sure to lock PCI-E/PCI bus to 100/33Mhz. If you have DDR2-533 RAM, change the RAM ratio to DDR2-400 mode for overclocking, 667->533 and 800->667... etc... Then use prime95/games test for stability. Until you reach the point where the system no longer stable/boot, try to raise the vcore by 10% max, i.e 1.3v default ~ 1.43v max and see if that helps to stability the system.

"It has 2x2MB L2 cache total of 4MB...."
Even though each core is indeed equipped with 2 MB of on-die L2 cache to utilize & this effectively means that the Pentium-D 900-series have 4 MB of on-die cache - 2 x 2MB is still seemingly a more accurate presentation.

That is what was throwing my off.
