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. |

Hate to break it to ya, but no point in tryin to overclock that old machine. You'll end up wearing/tearing the crap out of it, thus killing it faster.
First learn about Overclocking here: http://www.overclock.net/ There's a lot to learn.. it's not an easy process especially if you don't know what you're doing. And I strongly advise you to purchase new computer parts and build your own. Now a days it's best to go with a Dual Core Processor @ 3.0ghz (preferably Intel over AMD) and there's also Quad processors... they're both cheap now a days. |
