AthlonXP 2000+

[blackphoenix77]

So, I've got an Emachines W2040 which has an AthlonXP 2000+, and I read the thing for newbies guide to overclocking CPU. But in my BIOS there isn't anything about multipliers or anything, there is just one page where it shows the FSB which is at 133Mhz. Will I have to flash BIOS to be able to overclock my CPU? Also, I have 128MB PC2100 and 256MB of PC2700, will my FSB or whatever go up to 166Mhz or whatever PC2700 runs at...heh..I should learn my facts before posting this but oh well, I know what I'm talking about and you might be getting the message :lol:

Emachines doesn't allow overclocking, like you said you need to flash the bios. Get a utility called CPU-Z then post here the info on your mobo.

I hate my TI4200.
