i HAVE BRAND NEW PACKARD BELL EASY ONE WITH AMD K6 111 550MHZ WHICH IS EXTREMELY SLOW= P1 300.
HOW DO YOU CLOCK IT UP A BIT TO RETURN RAESONABLE SPEED?

I'm not sure how to oc this pc, you may have to give more details, ie Motherboard make.
also how much memory does it have, if it a small amount then it could acount for it being so slow. I had a K6-2 500 before I got My Duron 800 and that wasn't too bad as I had 128Mb of Memory with 17 Gig UDMA66 Hard Drive.

The K6-3 550Mhz is a Super Socket 7 based chip and it will not OC (as far as I know) much futher than 550Mhz. I don't know of any Chips faster than 550Mhz on a Super Socket 7 Motherboard, unless anyone can tell me of any... I would suggest having 128Mb Memory with a decent speed and sized Hard Drive at least UDMA66.

if then it's too slow it might be worth taking it back and getting a refund and get a computer with a better spec (IE Duron/Athlon/Thunderbird), well that's my opinion.

I hope this helps

First of all, that is a "laptop" isn't it? Packard Bells weren't know for thier ability to overclock before they were bought out by NEC, and now with thier new position as NIC's entry level consumer line, I wouldn't think they'd be any better. Especially with the limited availabilty of them (they're not sold in the states). Also I believe that the CPU installed in them is the K6-2, also not known for it's overclocking.
Let's see now,........laptop, Packard Bell, K6-2. That's three strikes against you, sorry, doesn't look too good.
Good Luck.
