Ok here the deal.
The only thing I have done is increased my FSB from133 to 149. Have not touched the Chip in any way, by default the XP 2200 is 1.8 GHz. Mine is now running at 2.010 GHz.

I have pics of these stats at www.etcposse.com/overclock/index.htm
these pics are from Sandra and WCpuid and IÂ’ll include both new and old pics

what I want to know; am I really getting an overall better performance? IÂ’ve ran the Sandra burn in feature for 6.5 hours and all was fine.

What do I need to do to see IÂ’m running better? I donÂ’t know what the numbers in Sandra mean.

I guess I am asking is HELP!!! Lol

oh yeah stats:
MotherboardÂ….Asrock K7S8X (http://www.asrockamerica.com/Products/K7S8X.htm)
RamÂ…..Kingston PC 2100 (2x256)
Temp before overclocking 42 C
Temp after overclocking 42C
CPU voltage before 1.66V
CPU voltage after 1.66V

Anything else ask

John

yes..the extra 200mhz will help a bit. For better overclocking ablility, get a nforce2 board, like the new gigabyte, MSI, asus or abit. The SiS chipset board you got isnt the best performer, just a little bit ahead of the ALi chipsets.

And my pc2100 hynix memory is able to run at 166, see if your memory can run at that, if its value ram, dunno if it will. You will see better performance with faster memory, especially in dual channel mode on a nforce2 board.

And is that an idle temp or load temp? Stock HSF? If you wanna overclock more, the thermalright SLK-800 with a decent 80mm fan is the best(Or a 70mm TMD fan)

And which numbers are confusing you?

don't want to spend anymore money just get what i can out of what i got. 42 is the idle and goes as high as 46 durring the sandra burn in test (cpu 100% almost 7 hours)

does it look stable? will i have any trouble?

if you can't tell i'm new at this.

soo right now running at the 2.010@149 FSB give me better performance then 1.80@ 133 FSb


John

yes it will..yer mem (not seperate like nforce2 boards) will be running at 149x2...try running prime95 for 12 hours if you want an ultra stable test.

but seems stable

WOW... I took off my Heat sink added some quicksilver compound and my cpu temp durring 100% CPU usage went down 5 C

Whats a Good cool temp for the XP 2200

-10C

I can do that
I can get liquid H2 thats about -260 C while N2 is only -196

everyone pitch in and pay for the set up i'll do and tell if i can hit -10

i'll give you my papal account and just add a few bucks in, i'll spend it on cooling and upgrades.
Pay to:
Jaftheatre@yahoo.com

LOL, no really i can use the money

My cooling only costs around $600 and doesn't require the other crap.

Go to www.vapochill.com.

I've said this before....Over the many years I have spent mega bucks on air and watercooling. I would have been better off going this route from the beginning.

WOW!!!!

Want to buy me that.

Damn whats the coldest you gotton?
