Overclock your 'puter - Page 2

MILAMBER · 05-11-2002, 08:15 PM

That's a pretty good score. I have had both the P4 and the Athlon XP. Right now I'm back on a Athlon XP 2100 and it is pretty fast, but I'm thinking about going back to the Intel side of things. I used to have a P4 2.0 Northwood chip clocked up to 2.6 ghz. Ended up selling that system. Now they have those new snazzy 533 mhz bus speeds that I'm dying to mess with.

When it comes down to value though, nothing can touch AMD.

Yeh, that quad pumped 133 is looking mighty appetizing. I can hear my accountant groaning already. Think I'm going to stick with this config for now (hmmph, dual mp's) I haven't come accross any software that's anywhere close to taking advantage of the higher clock speeds. Maybe it's time to start playing with my cars again.

LOL!! I'm the same way. I'll go from computers, to cars, to stereos, to paintballing... I'm always looking for a new vice.

I spent Friday night with three good friends in New York City, starting at a restaurant, walking through Central Park at night, and ending at a funky Bar atop some huge building with some amazing views of Manhattan. We then went back to one friends huge five bedroom Long Island house, where we spent the saturday playing tennis, hitting a pool and then a spa. Unbelievable. Then, they gave us Lobsters for dinner.

Hmm my Friday night is as boring as ever... crap. Since my license is expired.. I didn't have my Saturday night gimick but I was lucky though.. I think my date was even going to stand me up... so f*** it

I think it would be cool to over clock my X-box... then i could play online games like Crimson Skies and WHOOPITATE everyone who dared to take me on, because i'd be seconds ahead in the dog fights... MUWAHAHA! In Phantasy Star Online i've seen people with Overclocked Dreamcasts, they litterally fly around the place and can kill you instantly in battle mode, its more like cheating really, i once saw a guy running his DC on a cable modemm and a special processor, who had over 20000000 wins on his battle record! And thats alot seeing as you can only beat up to 3 people at a time and the normal über fight takes half an hour @_@
