[Wiggo]

Now that is strange as it wasn't there when I posted before. :confused:

damn glitches... at least you have a half decent computer :) i left my comps to my family when I moved out... including my dual machine... oh well... I'll finally get my iBook when I get my tax return :)

(when your stuck fixing windows boxes all day, an absolutly idiot proof machine is a blessing :) )

My first overclock was an AMD 5x86 (a 486 based chip that clock multiplied by 4, unlike the 486DX4 that multiplied by 3) so changing the speed from 33 to 40MHz got me to 160MHz instead of 133MHz - I was well chuffed, made quite a difference - it outpaced my friend's Pentium-75

[Dai the Flu]

the chip came at 133 MHz? i didn't know that amd made a "486" at that speed...

[Wiggo]

Yeah AMD's 586 133MHz CPU was for 486 boards and very easy to run at 160MHz even without a fan on the heatsink as that was my 1st o/c and that is still runnin' at my mother-in-law's place. :smokin:

that's crazy...

[Wiggo]

Now why is that? :?:

[Dai the Flu]

i didn't realize any company had achieved that on the 486 type chip... you learn something new every day

[Wiggo]

Well Intel had a similar version called the "486 Overclock" which ran at 120MHz as well. :smokin:
