Get the mobo part number. I'm sure you can get them from either the manufacturer web site or www.driverguide.com (login: driver1, password: all).

one question referring to the propper aim of this article is.. what does it mean by keeping memory ratio 1:1 ????

My mobo has this AI overclocking thing which ups speed and such by percentages instead of Mhz. Do any of u know if this increases the FSB or just the processor speed. Also, my comp only has 256 pc2100 RAM (need...better...ram...), how badly is this limiting the performance of my rig?

Thanks

P.S.- U guys rule, I found a ton of useful info here.

Very limiting if you want to overclock. Welcome!

Im about to over clock my p4 but i want to get one of those temperature programs that tells you cpu and case teperature.

The temps should be shown in the bios as you start up your pc.

Im new to overclocking because i have been using proprietary systems. But now i'm in teh process of modding my dell(not so much modding as building a new system and usin the same cpu, drives and RAM).

So heres my question, does the ASUS P4P800S-X have good overclocking ability

im only interested in overclocking my p4 2.53ghz to 2.8-3.0 ghz

btw i have pc2700 ram

adas

yeah, that asus will be good, BUT that ram will kill u. i really recommend getting something better like 3200 or 3500.

Awsome guide... lol i never thought about overclocking b4 this. I have a Asus p4p800 mobo and an intel 2.8E cpu in this machine. I tried to follow the guid but theres just too much stuff i couldnt find in the bios...

i cant find where these 2 are:
PCI/AGP/SATA – ‘fixed’ or ‘locked’ or ‘33/66/100’
Stop unused PCI clock – ‘enabled

and i have no clue what ths does:
Spread Spetrum – ‘disabled’ (this option may not exist in your BIOS...not of much concern if it doesn't)

Then i found out that my mombo seems to do the overclocking for me by just selecting a %. This is cool and all but it goes in pretty high intervals (5%,10%,20%,30%) they all worked up to 20%. Heres my problem first of all i would like to do this overclocking buisness myself so i get a greater sence of saticfaction ot of doing it and second when i set it to 30% it seems to stop booting up when it tries to open the bootloader for fedoraC3. Could that be because my ram is ****ty? i wish i could tell it to overclock at 25% im pretty sure that would work fine as im currently sitting at 20% wich bosts my cpu frequency up to 3360MHz.

im rather lost in it all could anyone point me to some more tutorials or try helping me understand what im doing a little better?
