Over the clock AMD I shall go!

Well, I've been reading up on my new processor: AMD ATHLON 64 X2 4800+/

Apparently, I can OC it to 2.8-2.9 GHZ...and JUST MAYBE 3.0 maintaining the stable under 50 degrees celcius mark. But, what do I do to overclock?

Google brought me to some membership bleh crap, and the gamespot feature was really uninformative.

With a computer that new, it's a simple matter of changing the settings in the BIOS. To do this, reboot your computer. As soon as something comes up on your screen (usually the brand of the computer or motherboard) press delete on your keyboard (sometimes it's F2... you may have to check your motherboard/computer manual) You will be taken into CMOS setup. This has a bunch of manuals, where you can look around and find where to change the speed. When you are done, you usually press F10 (it will say on the screen somewhere) and reboot. That should be all

All I know is that you're going to be flying. I'm jealous. I want a A64 X2.

I don't know much about AMD's, but I can probably tell you that the multiplier is most likely locked on it. AMD's are easy to unlock if I remember correctly... (no gurantee's)

Remember, Clockspeed X multiplier = speed. (ex: 133MHz X 4 = 533MHz)
