Thread: want to overclock

  1. #1
    I have an old 486 Pentium 25 megahurts and I would like to overclock it to one of these new Athlon processors. My computer also has a modem, cd-rom, and a dot matrix printer.
    If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank. --W.A.

    hmm, i think you mean you want to upgrade it.
    Overclocking is when you take a CPU (like your 486 25mhz) and run it faster than it was meant to run at (like at 30mhz)

    I'm sorry, this might be a little inappropriate, but...

    "486 Pentium"?
    "25 megahurts"?
    "Athlon foot"?

    Methinks someone here is having just a wee bit too much fun at our expense.

    More like a light paperweight, or a keychain is even better.
