Yeah, right. Reading is not enough... intelligence and experience should be
applied before posting. To quote from two posts at the URL you gave:
#1. "Many, many thanks for your reply. It does indeed work. My clockspeed
shows up straight away in MyComputer's properties as 1.6GHz, when BEFORE it
said '1.5-somethingGHz'."
#2a. "Now, I tried this trick, and it works, my P4 2.8 reaches 3 Ghz with no
effort whatsoever, the only problem I've found so far is that instead of
gaining performance, I loose about 50% of the processor speed, and get some
nasty noises from my sound card..."
#2b. " found that if I increase the clock in small increments I'm able to
reach 3.1 Ghz without the sound problem, and I can increase my scores by up
to 12% in all benchmarks (sisoft sandra, pcmark, and about 6% in 3dmark05)."
The #2b. posting (a follow-up to #2a.) is especially interesting since
increasing the CPU clock by 300 MHz (from 2800 MHz) is an overclock of only
10%, the reported 12% benchmark performance increase is highly unlikely.
Thus the need to apply experience and intelligence to anything you read.
Especially before posting, and especially posting with the tag "I read about
it a while ago, and believe or not, it works."
