Oc'ing my ancient OEM rig....

[josephtischer]

Curious if there is any OC'ing I can do to my rig in my specs below. I am looking for current CPU speed increases. I have already went the graphics card OC's with coolbits and got to about 220/500 on that.

My CPU is the Slot Athlon 900Mhz. Are there any cheap/inexpensive ways to oc this system without breaking the casing on the chip?

Thanks...

Increase the FSB if you can in the bios. If you can't do it there, download cpuFSB. You may have to look for a chip on the motherboard to use it.

I've never used one, but GoldenFingers (http://www.overclockin.com/reviews/GoldenFinger/GoldenFinger-1.html) seem to be the easy way to work with Slot-A Athlons. I'm sure they're still available, check Pricewatch.

check the sig. Just running @115 FSB no golden fingers. The only thing i spent any money on was a better heatsink and fan to cool the chip. Do you know what type of motherboard you have?
and/or any other particulars about your computer?

Give us more details and we can give you a better idea.

good luck

edit- I should read the full post before i start writing it's late though so you'll have to excuse me!

I see from your sig some more details. Have you ran Sisoft Sandra or something to get the exact mobo model and manufacturer? Maybe you could then download the mobo manual (if you don't already have it) and get details on what your BIOS will allow you to do.
