Hi,
i recently saw a thread posted by tommie, http://www.computing.net/cpus/wwwbo... he lists a lot of deatails about his pc and according to this he was given advice as to how to OC his coputer. how can i get this information from my pc so i can post it here and also OC my computer?
Basically, all we'd need to know is the make/model of your board, make/model of CPU, amount/type of RAM. Video card & PSU specs may be helpful as well.
Really sorry for the length of this wasnt sure what info was relevant and what was not, so i left it all in. i got this from everst. is this what you need?

I don't know what it is you're looking for, but your overclocking will be limited by your RAM, unless you're willing to settle for something other than a 1:1 CPU/DRAM ratio?
It looks like you only have one 512MB stick of RAM? Adding another stick will do more for performance than overclocking.
Like I said, your overclocking will be limited by your RAM, unless you're willing to settle for something other than a 1:1 CPU/DRAM ratio.
You have an 800MHz FSB CPU that actually runs at 200MHz (quad-pumped) & you have PC3200 RAM which also runs at 200MHz, so your system is currently running 1:1 ratio. PC3200 RAM will only overclock so much...maybe 225MHz or so depending on the quality. If you raise the CPU & RAM both to 225MHz, your CPU speed would increase to 3.6GHz (16 x 225Mhz). But there are other things that have to be taken into consideration...CPU voltage, RAM voltage, memory timings, AGP aperture, Spread Spectrum, PCI/AGP bus, etc.
EDIT: to add to the above, when O/C'ing, you should raise the FSB is small increments such as 5MHz at a time, testing for stability after each change.
how come my MB is running at 200fsb when it should be 800? is it because of my RAM? can i use something better than PC3200 with this Mobo? when i bought the board the technical team said it only supported pc3200. Its a kingston RAM with heatspreader, looks like decent quality. im not sure what all the above means im not very technical, im trying to understand it,
A 1:1 ratio means? How do i raise the cpu and ram to 224MHz? How do i check my RAM timing?
