How can I overclock a Celeron 2.2?

Quote:
It's recommended that you know a little bit about your computer before you start messing around with these settings. It can cause permanent damage. But as Namrac said prebuilts cannot be overclocked.

You need to read the (how to) guide as many times as it takes. Then youll have to download a program that will allow you to overclock, at this point if you dont know what motherboard you have, or what clockgen you have youll never be able to over clock, so you will have to figure out what motherboard you actualy have for example (ASUS P4G533-La) which is a board comonly found in pre-built Hp's and Compaq's. If you cant figure out what motherboard you have, your going to have to find the clockgen chip on your MOBO, once you figure that out, then you can began overclocking if the program you download has the clockgen number in its list. Sound easy enough?? When and if you get to this point then you can start to increase your FSB form 100 or 133 or what ever your CPU has, and then you can begin to actualy overclock.
Good luck and report back with your results.

Ok heres what your gonna have to do, take the side panel off your case (yes take the panel off the case see if the board has any numbers letter or number groups like the picture bellow, right them down on a piece of paper, if there is any. Then look for the crystal that has the number similar to the 2nd picture bellow(it wont be the same but it has to start with 14.) once you find that crystal look for the chip right next to it(normaly it has ICS and a bunch of numbers on it like the picture bellow) you need to right them down as well. Now youve figured out which clockgen you have so now you can put the PC back together. Go to this link http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php scroll down the page a little bit and see if your board or your clockgen chip is listed, if it is then download the one you need. If its not then try another progeam called CPUFSB, which can be found here http://www.majorgeeks.com/CPUFSB_d420.html , you need to download this and install it.
Once again youll have to see if your board is listed, if not then youll have to find your clockgen number in the list (CPUFSB supports alot more chips)
Now when I first started doing this I did it all on my own with little help, so here I have pretty much did all the work for you, so what you do from here is up to you.

LOL thats kinda the reason for my first post!! If you dont know how to take a PC apart and put it back together then stay away from overclocking till you learn more about your system!!
