Send the specs of your computer - motherboard - brand and model, type of RAM, video card, etc.

Really, no one talks much about OCing a 450 MHz computer. Any cheap system you buy now will easily run circles around a 450. You might be able to OC it to 600 MHz but that is still really slow by today's standards. I'm not trying to discourage you, just stating the facts.

Overclockers.com has plenty of basic information on OCing. Just get in there and dig. Also they have a forum that might be able to answer your questions better.

I am going to discourage you from overclocking until you have learned as much as you can about it or until you have determined that you don't mind destroying your computer. Overclocking can kill CPUs and other components, so unless you are prepared to repair/replace the equipment it isn't a good idea to start. Also, rushing in without knowing what you are doing makes it even more likely that you will end up with an expensive boat anchor.

Also, unless you really love getting SPAM, it is not a good idea to post your email address in a public forum. SPAMmers will harvest the address and use it...

Hey Jeffo, does bigden know your posting on his username???

I would suggest you spend some (alot) of time at overclockers.com. You will find everything you need to know. ;)

Hehe, I think you can squeeze a few more mhz outta that old p3. Problem is that old mobo probably will not allow you to overclock anyway. If your getting a new comp and you want to practice OCing on top of that old p3 then by all means go ahead. Assuming you don't care what happen to it of course;)

Yes he knows because I let him. And your right, I will have to spend a lot of time at overclockers.com. Thanks Steve.

Thanks Deagle...for your input!

Budfred and Deagle are right, take your time and research what you would like to do. And as Deagle says, that old p3 mobo won't let you
do much o/c'ing, but here's an article to get you started, also keep in mind that if you have one of the big brand pc's such as Dell, HP, Compaq, etc., then the o/c possibilities will be further limited:

Thanks Sensuelo...When I get the time I will do some research on the subject!
