!watch all out noob coming into land!
I've just bought an xp2000(palamino) with an asrock k7vt2 mobo
(the deal maplins are doing for uk readers) being new to the oc'ing game after reading bits and pieces. i upped my fsb to 140,now on boot bios reports i have a 2200xp mbm5 reports my cpu @ 1750 so my question is this.....with all the stuff around on unlocking athlons is this just the bios and cpu giving false reports as to the real speed and in turn falsifying(sp?)mbm5 |

You can still do whatever you feel like with the FSB - provided it works. JW |

dont fully understand......
but i take it you do know the xp2000 and it's actual mhz's arent the same? it's AMD's PR rating - basically the XP2000 figure means it will perform like an intel 2ghz. XP2200 - intel 2.2ghz. tim "Antzz03" wrote in message ...

Does it seem like a nice board.. and more importantly, did you get some kind of "game" with the asrock motherboard |

ahhhh. i get ya!
idealy you want to drop the multiplier (unlock the chip) and raise FSB for peak performance. this way the fsb increase will increase mainboard speed too. tim "Antzz03" wrote in message ... i didnt think it would go past 2000 without modding if it is at all which is what my post is about |

Thanks all,so to clarify upping the fsb and raising multipliers are two
different ways of o'cing......is that right? me thinks i need to do more homework =) |
