Hi all. I'm new here, longtime reader first time poster. I've been doing modest overclocking since i got my new PC. Here are the specs on it:
2.4 GHZ P4 with stock cooling OC'd to 2.8
(36c idle, 52c full load)
Asus P4PE mobo (nice board)
Radeon 9700 Pro (non overclocked...not sure how to...)
120 GB Western Digital HDD
512MB PC2700 ValueRam by Kingston (not sure on timings...)
2 CDRW's
MAXTOP Black CSX147KBF case with acrylic side window, side fan, blowhole on top for exhaust (3 fans total, 2 intake 1 exhaust). Round IDE cables for airflow.
Dual-Booting Windows XP Home/Redhat 8.0
That's about the gist. I haven't spent anything for this overclock and i'm looking for a cost-effective way to break the 3GHZ barrier. Any suggestions for general improvements to this rig would be great.
Thanks in advance
