I need your help.
I have a 2.2ghz intel celeron procesor.
I was suprised by how many ghz though cause it came with 128mb ram. but it currently has 500mb ram.
Its prety slow and laggy running ubuntu and i want to speed it up.
using overclocking.
How can i do this safely and whats the how high should i overclock it or whatever. It has some 10 yr old crappy loud fans. So the cooling is prob pretty bad.
Should i open it up? O and this computer is ancient so im not to worried if something goess wrong.
