Help for a newb overclocking?

Ok, first let me say, I did read the sticky on overclocking...lol

I have an Intel P4 1.5 Ghz with 256k RAM. It is running Phoenix 4.0 Release 6.0 for IBM NetVista BIOS.

As my BIOS options are severely limited, I downloaded ClockGen to try and squeeze a bit more speed out of this dinosaur. However, when I change the PLL's, nothing changes on the real time clocks. I am using PLL ICS 950403 setting.

What is the best way to approach overclocking this thing? Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

 

System info from aida32 enclosed:

Motherboard: IBM Marlin
Chipset: Intel Brookdale i845
Processor: GenuineIntel P4 1.5 GHz

 

Ok, after a little while of searching, I think the motherboard is a NetVista 6349

 

ok you dont have many options... i think your core is a willamette... they are terrible overclockers... try something like soft fsb or cpufsb (these are at the MG site..)

 

Thanks for the advice....I tried both FSB programs, neither supports the PLL.
The PLL is ICS 950201.....does this combination possibly not support overclocking?

Aida or Everest reports the max processor speed as 2.0 GHz....I'd really like to take advantage of the faster processor speed....FSB is reported real time as 100, operating at 400...

I'd be happy to try another program, if anyone knows of one that supports this PLL.

Thanks again for your response.

 

to me it looks like your out of options... thats what i think... there are some other programs... um

thats all i can find... good luck!

 

enh, tried both and nothing.

apparently this particular PLL has no System Management Bus.....CPUFSB lists this ICS as "hopeless"

8'^(

 

welll ya tried... the next thing to do is get a new cheap mobo that supports ocing

 

last straw i almost forgot... i duno if it will work but its worth a shot... once you load it press F9 and see if you have any options

Gives me a lot of good information, however, no manipulation abilities...

Any suggestions on a new mobo that i can overclock this processor with?

 

hmm anything from asus.... just try looking around at Newegg

 

One thing to consider, if the OS is OEM, you will need to buy a new copy of Windows if you change the motherboard.
