help

64mb inbuilt graphics card
2.26ghz cpu

im trying to over clock the cpu to anything bigger.... how do i do that? i tryed modifying the fsb but that made it smaller, not bigger. help... plz

 

Umm you can't overclock with intel motherboards.

 

so all i can do is underclock it?

 

Yeah probably. Even if you can get a Intel motherboard that can overlock(there aren't very many out there) you would only get a 5% overclock, so it's not worth it. Still if you want to still do it, you can overclock it through windows.

 

how can i do it through windows?

 

I don't know what you would overclock for, even if you could. That onboard video chip isn't going to cut much, if you are into gaming.

 

well then, am i able to overclock the video chip?

 

No, you're best off with a real video card.

 

ok, thanks anyway

 

wat would be the best motherboard be that is under $150 be, with your experience
(with a pci express slot)

 

I'm guessing you have a P4? You would be better off just upgrading the CPU and the motherboard.

 

yes, but where would i get a decent motherboard for under $150 with a pci express slot?

 

Where? newegg.com is a good place. Were you wanting to upgrade the CPU as well? I recommend you go with a core 2 duo, and get a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, which is around a 100 dollars.

 

but if i get that motherboard, then i have to get more ram. mine at the moment only has ddr ram not ddr2 ram

 

Yeah but your performance will go through the roof. Over clocking that P4 isn't going to help all that much since the CPU is outdated.

 

wat video card would you recommend me getting that would suit a heavy gamer. thats also within a good price range

 

What's your price range for the video card?

 

under $200

 

You'll probably want to wait for the price drops on the 8800 GTS. It's about 250 bucks right now, but it's got the best bang for the buck.

 

is it compatible with most games?
