Overclocking Desktop computer
I have a 1.3 ghz desktop with about 700 some MB of RAM. I was wondering how to overclock the computer and how much it will improve (ie. 300 mhz, 500 mhz, etc.) I have an average knowledge of computer parts and how to install them ex: installed RAM, wireless card in laptop, sound card, etc. If anyone can get a link or anything for a CLEAR and easy to follow guide on how to overclock a computer I would be greatful
I'm not familiar with a Sony but most OEM manufacturers remove any overclocking from the BIOS. You can see if you can change the fsb, vcore, etc in the BIOS. I would be surprised if these options are available. The only other option is to use a software overclocking utility like ClockGen or CPUFSB. You overclock will be determined by how high your CPU and/or RAM can run at default voltages. Another problem occurs as you raise the fsb, you raise the speed of the PCI and AGP slots. After a Certain speed this can cause instability and corruption of the HDD. This post is about overclocking a Dell but it should apply to any computer:
