Build your own computer. Can't OC a prebuilt machine.

Also, if that P3 really means "Pentium 3", you pretty much need a new machine anyways whether you're OCing or not. Not to mention that those things are practically useless as far as OCing is concerned.

EDIT: Trust me, OCing a P3 on a stock mobo is simply not going to work. I've tried it myself with two different machines. No dice.

Your P3 machine is going to be REALLY fun to overclock (that is if the board supports it). I wish I had your machine for some fun!


But your better off having a newer machine (perhaps a Core 2 duo with a good OC mobo like mine).

Cant overclock OEM machines. Motherboard is locked, however if it's a Gigabyte motherboard, you can press Ctrl+f1 and it will unlock options.

I guarantee it won't be a Gigabyte motherboard though.

Build your own rig if you want to OC.

pc-100 is SDRAM, ye old SDR... but you're right about that upgrading part, definitely not worth it.
