P4 1.3 question

[HolyShiznit]

What's the overclocking ability of a P4 1.3 Ghz with a D850GB mobo? What kind of extra cooling devices would be needed? Or how about if the chip was upgraded and then overclocked [it can go up to 2 Ghz I believe]. Thanks.

Well, the P4 1.3 is the older Wiliamette 423 pin chip, prolly underclocked to target low end markets. It can potentially run at 2.0 GHz, but since the multiplier is locked, you will have to increase the FSB too high to get a stable system. 1.6 MHz or thereabouts is a pretty reasonable target.

The original Intel D850GB board, as all Intel boards, dont have any overclocking facilities. But is a well known board, and you can easlity overclock it through software using the CPUFSB utility.

Every point I make has 'n' perspectives!
Boy do I need a <i>disclaimer</i> for my every word?

Ok thanks for the information. My brother has that setup and I was curious.

I don't know if the board supports 133MHz bus clock (Intel's "533" bus), but if it did (which I doubt), you could hardware overclock it using the info in my Socket 478 Hardware Overclocking guide, <A HREF="http://www.crashmania.tk" target="_new">http://www.crashmania.tk</A>
