Need Advice about P 233 w/mmx

[huzudra]

Hi! i want to over clock my Pentium@233MHz w/MMX to atleast 300MHz, if any body out there cant give me sum tips, tricks and/or advice i would really be greatful for it. i have a SIS motherboard , im not sure what model, my current FSB is 66MHz and the multiplier is 3.5. I have a standard PIII heatsink crammed ontop of this Socket 7 chip with a thin layer of some sort of crappy thermal grease. I hope this is enough information for one of people to help me, please email me at Huzudra@aol.com , thanks!

Well, I have a Pentium MMX 200 MHZ I run at...well...200mhz (my parents won't let me touch it :-) ) Anyway that runs at 66mhz FSB and 3.0x multiplier. My 200, the multiplier changes, 233 it might not, not sure. Note : 300mhz is rather slow and is still, by far way out of date. Anyway on my mobo, I don't know about yours, the FSB runs up to 100mhz. Scrape the crap on the HSF now, Go to RadioShack, buy some thermal compound for $1.99 pop the HSF on put some, put some(less is more) compound between the heatsink and the CPU. Then change the FSB(Front Side Bus) up in increments. Until you start getting errors. THen you up the voltage, read and re-read your motherboard manual. You may be able to change the multiplier. HOpe that helps...

Don't overclock you P233 cause there's no use in doing that. Really you're gain in speed will be minimal I'm thinking in the 2-3%. Meaning that if it took you 100 seconds to open something, you might open it at a now amazing 98.5 seconds. So there's not really an increase in performance cause there's no L2 cache on the chip that increases in speed. So you better not. I prefer having a slow old pc that works than having a faster slow old pc that's burning!
