    i just got a compaq pentium II 450 mhz computer. im not sure about the mobo, ill check when i get home. my question is, how hard is it to oc in linux. i know overclocking is all about cooling, and i have two ports vacant for hearvy duty fans.

    Its a compaq KILL IT! KILL IT! Realy its not worth messing with. To OC a compaq youl most likely need SOFT FSB or somthing of the like and even if you do manage to OC it it will most likely B by a small amount and never see a real speed boost......................

    yeah, i guess. but actually, i just saw that the linux kernel comes with a thing that lets you change the clock speed from the desktop

    its about cooling; but alot of the cooling IMO is confused in where it should be conducted. the main cooling should take place @ the heatsink/fan combo on the actuall processor[not fans on the case]; then you need your basic set up to remove the air out of the case...
