Default Beginning to Overclock!
Hello, I'm John T. I just built a new core i7 920 setup. I have never had a computer I actually cared about. But since I spent my money, and my hands built it, I plan to actually take care of it.

My old computer, a Dell Pentium 4 Socket 478, I plan to learn to overclock. I bought a new Motherboard, The BioStar P4M900M4. It has DDR2, PCIe and SATA connectors. Hopefully its better equipped to be overclocked than the Foxconn (rebadged as a dell).

I'm from Ohio, have a degree in automotive engineering technology, and am working on a degree in electrical engineering technology.

Hopefully, I can understand most of this well enough to be able to safely overclock a computer.
