Hi all,i'm new here,but i got a some questions about my old pc,i got a 2 pc's,but one is little older :D
So the problem is and i don't know that is a problem,but for me is it
is that i have a AMD Athlon XP 2000+,but it works at 1243MHz,cuz when i see in the my computer options that it says and also when start pc it says 1.2GHz,also in the everest it says that processor can be up to 3000MHz,i want to ask it will be work at 2000MHz or more when it need ? Not like is a AMD Athlon 1200+ ? I don't know why is that,i don't need to overclock it to the 3000 or 2000 but what to do ?

Specs of this pc are :

Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Professional

CPU Type AMD Athlon XP, 1243 MHz (12.5 x 99)

System Memory 1024 MB (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)

That's it,i know that is old,but hey :D

PS:I was have a AMD Athlon XP 1600+ and it works at 1400MHz more than 2000+ ?

The Athlon 2000+ is rated at 1.6ghz while the 1600+ is rated at 1.4 ghz.

Basically what you need to do is if the motherboard supports it, you need to raise the fsb to 133mhz from 100 mhz and you'll see that it will then be going at 1.6 ghz. This is either done by the bios or by a jumper on the motherboard. What motherboard do you have?

Do what vista said, also, make sure you have an aftermarket cooler.Its not so simple as you just overclock it with the stock cooler.
