premade system

[ej]

I bought this system at Atlas Micro Logistics. I can't come up with any reviews of the mobo and the manual isn't available yet. I'm new to overclocking but determined none the less. What should be the order of events in the tweaking of this machine.




PROCESSOR:---AMD New Athlon(Thunderbird) Processor at 900MHz, 200MHz FSB, 256K Cache

MAIN BOARD:--Biostar M7MIA AMD 761 4X AGP Socket A 200/266MHZ FSB UDMA-100 DDR Support

MEMORY:------128MB PC-2100 DDR 266MHz Memory

VIDEO:-------eVGA Nvidia Geforce 2 Pro DDR 32MB Video Card w/TV Out

The manual can be downloaded here: http://www.biostar.com.tw/support/manual/M7MIA.pdf . This is where I would start. Read it, read the beginners guides on the main page (I still refer to them often), and then unlock the processor (see guide on front page) if not already unlocked. Make sure you have very good cooling, and start with the multiplier adjustment, then voltage, etc. TAKE BABY STEPS. Too much, too soon, and you could exceed the limits of the chip with disastrous results.

Good luck
