Sorry if this has been asked before, I think I may have got the tail end of that discussion a while back, but... I have a Compaq Pentium 75 (specifically a US config CDS 774 desktop). I am toying with the idea of increasing it's CPU capability. According to Compag Corp, a simple replacement of the CPU is limited to 100 mhz due to limitations on the motherboard. If I swap out the motherboard as well, I'll lose the 8Mb onboard RAM. I have heard about clocking, but have little knowledge of the details of the process. My questions are: - can I clock my PC? - precisely how do I do it? - what improvement/clock speed should I expect to achieve? - what are the risks, pitfalls and trade-offs? - what would you do? I also welcome answers by email if it is felt that a news posting would be too tedious or repetitious for this group. -- B.MacDonald, Northwood, Middlesex, UK E-mail burns@nthwd.demon.co.uk or burns@dircon.co.uk
