Hi! Anybody know if there are anyway to make the CPU show a fake clock? Example, if i am using AthlonXP 1800+, I want to make it show as 2200+ or any other. I heard that there is a way to do it, but i dont know the way.
Thanks.

If you have an unlocked 1800+, you can change your default multiplier to 13.5 in the BIOS, windows will show you have an Athlon XP 2200+ (1.8GHz).
Note of warning: I doubt your 1800+ will do (133X13.5)
I agree; computing.net does need an edit button.

i already said i want it to show a 'fake' clock rate, not a real clock rate that i can overclock it. it means that the clock rate stay, but the bios or windows see it as other clock rate.

You wan't to smoke everyone into thinking you made a 2200+ out of a 1800+ without being able to actually do it? If so, you'll get no help here.
If you actually want to do it...post back with detailed system specs.
