AMD Duron 1200+ Question.....

[steverz]

i have a amd duron 1200+ that runs at 892 mhz w/ 384 mb of ram. i have amibios which doesnt support messing with my core voltage so i was wondering if there was any tutorials or if anyone can help me get my system up to around 1 ghz or higher. thanks. any help would be great.

um..... duron 1200+? Durons don't have PR ratings.
Whats it's actual stock speed?

sound to me like you've got the fsb set to 100, when it should be at 133, if it IS infact a duron 1200

 

[Socket eh?]

Durons didn't come with a 133fsb.

 

[james.miller]

lol thats the duron built on board for mATX. and yes, those are rated PR

They are actually a Duron 850 and i doubt there is much chance of overclocking at all on them. Not a very wise purchase if you intended to overclock.

They're rated by the resellers who are trying to make more for less, not by AMD.

right, the pr ratings were designed for the athlon-xp core w/ 256kL2 cache, not the much older duron spitfire core with very little cache at all. Athlon-xp beats t-bird core athlon beats morgan core duron beats what you have. How the heck they can call it a 1200+ under the PR system beats me, should be something like 700+, as athlon-xp beats it MHz for MHz.

 

[JDXNC]

The resellers mean it in refernce to a similaly clocked Celeron.
