Hello Everyone!
I am new to this so please bear with me. I am in the process of building a new system and initially wanted to go with a Thunderbird 1.2 GHz chip to start with but unfortunately, I have had to settle on a much lesser chip, 850 MHz Duron, due to the fact of a minor explosion on the part of my refridgerator (don't ask).
Here is my current set up:
Abit KT7A Motherboard
AMD 850 MHz Duron Processor w/ DUO-462-8 Mini Super Orb Fan
512 MB of PC-133 RAM (2*256)
Mitsumi 1.44 MB 3.5" Floppy Drive
Samsung 52X CD-ROM Drive
Hewlett-Packard 10/4/32X CD-RW Drive
Maxtor 45.0 GB 7200 RPM U/100 Hard Drive
Jaton GeForce MX 32 MB AGP Video Card
Creative Labs Soundblaster Live! 5.1 PCI Sound Card
Creative Labs Modemblaster 56K PCI Modem
3 Case Fans running throughout the system
My question is, because I have never overclocked a 'jumperless' motherboard...how fast can I expect to overclock this AMD bugger? What are 'stable' setting I can set up in BIOS to allow it to work comfortably? Any suggestions would be appreciated...
