Hey guys! Can anyone help? I have the K7S5A pro with the amd duron proc. It is so slow. I am a novice pc user and learn every day. I can do all kinds of hardware changes but i have never done overclocking. IMy FSB isonly 75 and that realy sucks. I have no $$$ so I am stuck. I need to over clock. Will one of youwalk me through this?
AMD Duron
K7S5A pro (mother)
Radeon 9600 pro
SB Audigy
512 +256 on radeon.
Also, I would appreciate any tips on setting the Bios because, I can not set the bios to the actual RAM speed or frequency. If i set it to 133/100 or 133/133/100/133/166/166 etc I have to hit the jumpers because the system will ot boot. (short the battery) Also is ther any benifit or significant gains enablinf fast write? THANX MAN!!!! It would be nice to be able to play SWG and turn thegraphics up past there absolute min.

jerr

"IMy FSB isonly 75 and that realy sucks"

Why are you only running at 75MHz FSB??

"If i set it to 133/100 or 133/133/100/133/166/166 etc"

If you have an older Duron (up to 1.4GHz) that runs at 200FSB, the correct setting is 100/100, regardless of the type/speed of RAM you're using. If you have one of the newer versions that run at 266FSB, the correct setting "should" be 133/133, but your RAM must support the 133MHz speed...that means PC133 (SDR-RAM) or PC2100 or better (DDR-RAM)

If you wanna overclock with that board, you'll need to flash to either the Cheepoman or HoneyX overclocking BIOS. Try searching Google
