Hi!
1. I don't speak good english <- Not a SOBER virus (McAfee). 2- i'm electronic engineer. 3- i'm not a Computer's god.

Not long ago i have purchasing my first new PC (after DOS times) with a very stupid idea: making jobs. I have too many problems with Spyware, Viruses, not compatibles, bad programs, bad supports &...software & little problems with hardware. After several years headache my second idea is simple: more hardware with no much software.

After 2 years my new PC IS NOT NEW. Buy a new PC is cheaper from upgrade ---> two PCs.
I take from friends 2 old PCs - with oldest i write this document now, for "new" i don't have money today ---> 3+1 PCs.

1. My super new PC is for multimedia authoring only (my job) & he don't have a connection.
2. My new (before 2-3 years) PC is a A/V Player & for daily jobs (for me only). He have "on demand" connections with LAN & modem.
3. I have a plan for my third ("old-new" PC with P4-1.6GHz): a simple homemade multimedia center for daily use & a "toy" for my wife ("stupid" womans... - Sorry, lady!) with LAN connection & "on demand" Internet.
4. My oldest PC today is for Internet only & a "easy" job - audio recording from old media. He have & LAN connection(s).
5. My very, very old PCs (with DOS) is for museum & sweet remembrances only. The green or 16-collors screen & THE FULL CONTROL make a good to my psichic balance.

* All is fine, but my oldest PC (4.) is not much slower for his job:
Mother: Asus AB-PR5 Rev2 - 3xPCI, 4xSlots, 2xUSB, 2x2 ATA &...& PLL52C59-14
Processor: Genuine Intel Pentium & MMX - Shocket7 - 200MHz (66MHz bus)
Windows 98 SE with all updates, DirectX9 (7-video only)
4x32=128Mb RAM
Graphics: S3 ViRGE PCI (325) (now: 1024x768 & 16bit)
Sound: Creative SB Audigy Live (Cheap & new- & 24bit)
LAN Card 100Mb (PCI) & a slot-LAN card...
DVD-ROM & 2xHD: 3 & 4Mb &... (very good for this PC- the mouse is USB Microsoft Wireless InteliMouse Explorer & a USB Printer - no problems)

I have read the Motherboard instructions (from Internet) & Tom's Overclocking guide. I have all "new" drivers (from Internet).
My Motherboard is sIightly another from Tom's... (see attachment) & i make a overclocking for 75MHz Bus speed (see the scissors from attachment).

I don't see a difference!

The System Monitor say: the processor ussage is 100% (always if a job is runing) & everything all is O.K.

The Tom's... say: Pins: 8- via 2.2KOhm to GND (i-?), 12- via 10KOhm to +5V (i-yes), 13- via 10KOhm to +5V (i-yes).

How to realy make a overclocking?
Thank you!

Please put your post in the cpu forum.
This forum is used for humour.
In the cpu forum you will get alot of help with the questions you have asked.
You will probably get many replies here that you might think are offensive. Don't take the offensive replies seriously. We're a bunch of jokers in this forum.
Good luck with your computer upgrades.

Ivanov !! Listen Brother with that type of CPU and RAM you will not get any better speed out of the computers by overclocking them. You will only damage them due to heat problems or software crashing because of the hardware overclocking.

Use them as they are. Get a long white scarf like old WWI fighter pilots throw it around your neck sit back and enjoy the vintage speed and be sound in the knowledge that an Electronics Engineer should be able to answer his own questions.........

I got bitter at the end of the post..sorry guys I just can't understand where the guys get their degrees from.
