    Hi, my eMachine is a W5243... I want to know how to overclock it... I do some research on how to overclock emachine W5243 and i got nothing... I also research on how to overclock the cpu but it's different from my emachine W5243 BIOS... I dont know where to go to overclock my eMachine W5243... Anyone know how to overclock my e-Machine W5243?

    I just recently found a video on youtube(Link-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmytHG2Mq4Y) but it's not for my emachine plus i cant find the PLL thing on the motherboard... Can tell me what it is? I followed the video but since it's not my emachine i'll have to do a search around my emachine and the only thing i cant find it the PLL types...

    Well, why not? Is it because it's outdated? Does the software in the video link above help? Why do they still create e-Machine W5243? Why does it cost $500 for a outdated computer? Can I replace the motherboard with a better one and a new processor(But with Same Power Supply) and RAM? How can I OC my Computer by replacing it?

    because most if not all namebrand computers as designed not to oc. has nothing to do with age. depends on what cpu you want that determines whether you can use your ddr2 ram & psu. why do you want to oc it, just for bragging rights?

    Well, My bro has a computer 2.8GHz and he OC it to 3.59 and it's really fast... I was wonder if i can OC my GHz to 3.1 or so... BTW is there anyway i can buy or get the processor OverClocked?

    Also what kind of thing that makes an OC? Should i buy a new processor or a new motherboard or both for my E-Machine W5243(replacing IT)?

    is his computer a namebrand like dell or a clone built at local computer store? bios determines if cpu can be overclocked. buy both.

    you CAN'T overclock that machine. it's NOT designed for overclocking.

    reason why your brother can overclock is because his parts were designed with overclocking in mind.

    what a loser.. read the frikkin manual numbnuts!!!!! .. motherboard specs say if a board will run at different speeds depending on cpu capabilities.. as for processors.. same rule applies. certain amd chips you have to get in there and change solder connections.

    if you seriously want to overclock, build your own system. but be prepared to pay a hefty price for quality parts. you buy cheap, your system goes up in flames (50+% chance)
