Overclocking help please.

Well I picked up 2 computers last week... identical computers. Yeah, heck slow, Celeron 566Mhz.... Well I was wondering if I could overclock these? and how to? they dont let you change the FSB in the bios, it has a Phoniex Bios... its not like modern bootups, if has a white screen, and it says : Detecting PRocessor, Detecting RAM, Detecting Drives, Virus Scan. a weird bootup way.... so I was wondering if there was a trustable software to overclock these? And will I get far? Are these celerons good overclockers?

There arent many if any programs that will let you overclcok if you cant through the BIOS

I don't think that's old enough to have jumpers so you're stuck using one of those OC from windows programs. I don't know how well they will overclock.

Is there a good program? Like SoftFSB?

 

[Cromewell]

I know of Clock Gen, it's made by the same people that make CPUz. I don't know how good any of the programs are though.

Hmm... well thanks ill try it. PS im installing XP, 2k, and Linuix on it, 3 partitions... is XP a bad choice?

 

[Cromewell]

Why would you install 2k and XP? I would think 1 or the other would be sufficient.
