Unfortuantely, you can't overclock you Compaq. This is because when you buy a computer from companies like Compaq, Dell, Gateway, HP, etc, they make their computers with default Intel motherboards which lack the features to overclock and tweak your system.

Sorry for the bad news but OEM Machines (Dell, Compaq, HP etc.) don't have overclocking options anywhere.

I know this isn't the best greeting but if you stick around and learn some information and you've got money, then we can upgrade your machine to be overclockable.

Compaq=bad news for overclocking. OEM computer builders typically use stripped down mobos devoid of adjustable features. Compaq usually has a custom BIOS too which makes it even harder to tweak. They don't want end users messing with stuff. I have heard of a few people getting softFSB to work with some Dells and Gateways, depending on what motherboard was used. But, I've never heard of anyone overclocking a crappy ol' Compaq, sorry.

The big OEM's make it so there's only one way to OC...buy a complete new system, lol.
