I have a 1.7Ghz P4. When using this code, it says "Currently running at 1694Mhz, Maximum Clock Speed 2400MHz"
What the hell?! I want maximum! Shall i try and clock it?

c'mon! Someone has to insight me to violently attack my brand new computer with a screwdriver and a half-arsed idea!!
Your Pentium 4 sucks and my Athlon 1.6 beats the **** out of it, and I bet I paid less money too.
Anyways, yeah, sure, try overclocking it a little. Just make sure your temperatures are good (under 55 C) and that you're using sufficient cooling.
2400 is just a theoretical number..you'd never get that high unless you were using Freon cooling and even then (BTW that costs hundreds of dollars if not thousands). My board says it can run at 2800mhz, but my 1.4 Athlon won't even come close to that speed.
I have a Richard Simmons 430Ghz and it beats all of your computers.
I'm sure you did pay less for it considering everything here is twice the price than in the USQuote:

Actually, comparable Athlon systems are some £200 more than my P4, seen as I'm strapped for cash I'm not going to spend an extra 200
That's because most manufacturers don't build Athlons.Quote:

Shoulda custom built m'friend ;)
Anyways tell us how your OCing adventure goes.
custom build wasn't an option, I don't have the time or the inclination. One day when I'm fabulously rich in my playboy mansion I might dable in it.
Having said that I've only had this a week and already I've taken almost everything out for a good nose about.
I'll try the O/C at the weekend...have more time then
Does the pent4 processor actually surpass the Xeonx processor?
I know the pent Xeonx processors were originally engineered to out perform standard PIII's since they can be purchased with up to 2Mb of L2 cache and the cache runs at processor speed opposed to half for PIII's.
A P3 Xeon will roast a P4 in most cases. Will even roast an Athlon in many cases.
very expensive though. Used for hardcore machines and servers
I know my machine runs two in tandem. :p
why did you keep calling it xeonx then?! :p
Im getting it mixed up with my moms XanaX i think. :p (It's an anti-depresant).
maybe you should give some to GR and skitchen...
yeah, the Xeon is strictly for servers. I haven't seen any [h]ardocp member with a Xeon, even with their exotic dual-Athlon (or dual p4), 4 gig of RAM, and RAID setups. (yes i saw someone with 4 gigs of RAM)
