I have old computer setting at the corner of my room. So one day, i got to up back running. The specs are Chaintech Socket 7 Mobo, AMD K6-II 500Mhz, 128mb SDRAM, and some integrated stuff. video, sound. I installed Windows XP on it. And it runs really really slow. I would have installed 98 but my 98 disk is damaged. I want to network this old with my current pc. But first i want to overclock it. I'm looking around in the bios and i'm not seeing any options for that. Overclocking my 2200+ on a MSI KT3 Board was much easier. But on this board there aren' t any options for overclocking. The bios is an award 4.51. I checked out the chaintech website and the updates there are of no use to me. Any suggestions?

we need mobo model # before we can try to help you. I'm sure chaintech made several socket 7 mobos. The FSB and multiplier settings might be as jumpers on the mobo

ok. sorry for leaving that out. the model number is 5SSVO Here's a link to the manual: http://www.chaintech.com.tw/FILES/5xMB/MANUAL/5SSV0.EXE

Why would you install Xp on this machine.Supprised it still runs at all.Find a copy of windows 95 on line and install that.It will give you all you need to make that a very usfull c and run very fast.Much faster than xp ever will no matter how uch you overclock that k-6.The only way you will get XP to run resonable is to add more ram.

128 meg will be taken up by the WInXP O/S (minimum for XP is 64, minimal for decent operation is 128) Get some more ram. The CPU can handle the OS. The memory is not enough though.

yea ok, I've added a 32mb and a 128mb stick. a total of 288. I still want to overclock it though. It will be good practise for when i'm ready to overclock my 2200+, I've read through the manual. and i've notice a section about multipliers and stuff. everything has to be set by using jumpers. All the jumpers for that are next to the battery. but it all seems confusing.

last time i checked, 32 + 128 doesnt = 288
