ok i ant got thaqt much money at teh mo so i was wondering how far i can push my cpu and geforce 4 will a softwair oc program for the geforce work and how far u recon i can push my chip

Yes, a software oc is the only way, google "nVHardPage", as for the card, without a model number I can't tell you exactly, by the Ti4200's are good for 300/600, maybe a little more. Don't do it in one go, do it bit by bit and test for artifacts using 3D Mark 01 after each adjustment.

Ummm...yeah, a thank you would be nice, don't just demand answers without even showing some form of courtesy. Besides, I've never oc'd a 1.13GHz before, and I'm not about to start searching google for you, type in www.google.com and find out yourself.

what do you mean a thank you would be nice nobody shows me maners so why should i return the favour i c your point but the probem today is sosity nobody has respect for anyone else oh yeh and soyy bout that m8t thx for all thin input

Just because no one says thank you to you doesn't mean you have to do the same, why lower yourself to their level, but this isn't the place for me to express my disgust towards the way in which many members of society behave. Why do you think so many of the regulars have been making fewer and fewer posts, I myself hardly post help anymore because very few people ever show any appreciation for the help they recieve. As for your chip, the only way to overclock it is to slowly increase the FSB until it becomes unstable, you may find that increasing the vcore, by no more than +10%, will improve you maximum oc a bit. Watch your temps, don't let the cpu go beyond 50-55°C idle.

Ok Thanks for posting about my chip i give it a go, however i dont think my motherbord will let me cange the vcore it is an old Gigibite 7-ZXE i will try pudatin the bios.
As for my temp its always at about 60oC that's BAD aint it. It was only about 48oC with a dragon orb 3 7200Rpm but that was too noisy (I Dont realy wana Unlock the L1 multiplyer but i willl if i have to.) I was postin to see if ther was another way it could be done.
This link shows you how to unlock the L1 Multiplyer If you need the infomation.

AND REMEMBER :-) HAPPY FACE :-)

Yeah thats the pencil trick, forgot about that, Unlocking the multi's on a T'bird is pretty easy, and if it doesn't work, you can always clean it off. Getting more voltage can be a little bit tricky, google "vmod for 7-ZXE", see what you come up with. 60°C is okay when running stock speeds, I like to have things a little cooler when overclocking. You might also want to consider an all copper cooler with a low RPM fan, check out what Thermalright has to offer.

Thanks I will unloch the multiplyer after i get my new cpu and bord so if i f--- up i still got a pc and i got a geefoc tweek utilit its brilliant thaks oh yeh and is the priciple the same 4 a duron 900 i think it is but best to be sure

If I understood you correctly....your temp is at 60 C now. I would suggest getting a heatsink with an adjustable speed control or buy a third party control. So when you dont need extra cooling you can turn down the fan. With todays cpu speeds you need a fairly high end heat sink.....which mean you may have to except extra noise levels. The main thing is to keep your computer running cool.......it will last longer with fewer errors and problems.
If you let the temps get too high........kiss off your motherboard or cpu etc.
Adam is right on the Ti 4200.....it will take 300\600....Ive run my at that speed. I personally dont like to overclock things. So I run my Ti 4200 at stock speeds....it runs all my games just fine.Good Luck.
