pentium III @ 1000 mhz said:anyways the higher the mhz the faster the computer...wether you notice performance or not...it's still higher mhz...so it's faster...tha's why ppl do it...see....
What good are numbers if they do not increase performance? Why would I care if my CPU can perform a task faster if it still has to wait the same amout of time to get the data it needs and the send the information on to its next stop?
OC'ing your computer so that you GAIN an edge in performance is understandable. That is what I agree with.
But OC'ing just for the sake of it.. so you can say your CPU runs faster.. even though your system still does the same ruitines in the same amout of time MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.
And if you say you are doing it for practice.. or so you can learn.. well how? You wont notice a difference.
Praetor gave an example of where he benefited from overclocking his processor. I did not see the same benefit in the original posters senerio. Was I wrong.. Only fej180 can tell us when he is finished ...but I have my opinion and you have yours.
