OCing a Celeron 1.0

[CaliVW78]

Ok, finally found the forum that counts! Just paired Celeron 1.0GHz with FIC FA15T mainboard. Now want to see what it can do. Havn't overclocked before but wanna start messin with it now. :) First things first though, need to understand some of the terms and was hoping I could get some help from the forum. With a Celeron, I have heard that it is only possible to adjust the FSB. Is this true? If so, are adjustments for overclocking only going to be in the bios, or do I need to do stuff to the board? Also, can the ram be messed with any? Another question, the voltage setting for the cpu, mine is set to default right now in the bios, should I (can I) mess with this safely? Thanks for all the help.

Intel overclocking only revolves cranking the FSB up.

I've never heard of your board, thus I'm not farmiliar with it. Does your board have FSB adjustable options if so your in luck.

If it doesn't I think your SOL.

Start by reading the Beginners Guide on the front page it'll give you an idea what overclocking is.

Ram is never going to die IMHO.

Cool, found the beginners guide....question I couldn't find answer for though, is Vcore refering to the voltage being applied to the processor? Also, how can adjust or mess with the ram? In the bios? Sorry for all the beginner stuff.

yes Vcore is the voltage going to the processor.

There should be options in your bios for Ram timing with options of 2 or 3...only adjust this to 2 if you have cl2 RAM
