givin my ol' duron a boost

floatingtrem · 21-August-03, 11:29 PM

i'm gonna get a P4 soon- but i'd like to boost my system performance for the month or so i got left- its been REALLY dragin lately- too many gui apps- any ideas for a small OC that would boost perfprmance- but not require additional cooling-
as for what i got now- theres a 90mm fan in from- the PS fan in back- and a 60mm on the cpu (better than stock- but with the stock HS)- any ideas- and how would i go about it?

hmmm sinners use pentium 4's lol anyway this makes me one of the few duron users now hehehehehe

u should be able to get 1.1 to 1.2 out of a 950

yeah- i suppose i should of mentioned this- i've tried OCing to 133 bus- but doing so- never gave me a boot
i freaked out-
it wouldnt even load in the least-
but i finnaly flashed the bios usin the board jumpers- and got it worked out- should i lower multipliers as well as raise the fsb- or maybe just raise the mult-

well- the bios setting except bus are all locked the options are 100/100 100/133 133/133- can you unlock these settings?
also- whats a good free program to monitor mpu temp?

Actually that's resetting the CMOS, not flashing the BIOS which is a permanent, and possibly dangerous action.
