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. |

O im talking about a already made computer! Im not making my own.
If i bought that proccessor id have no idea how to install it. Are proccessors easy to install even if your a complete noob. I'd say im just a little more than a inside of computer noob if you know what i mean. |
