I've read enough to get me pumped up about overclocking, but I don't know
where to begin. I know it's a really really in depth project. I guess all of
you has been where I'm at right now ..... brand new beginner and clueless.
LOL I'm running XP Pro Service Pack 1 and my equipment is as follows:

I don't believe you can oc Intel motherboards.

You could upgrade this to the highest 533fsb chip [i forget what that is]

I dont think youre going to be able to overclock an intel board. Alienware
have probably already tweaked as far as it will go.
Also, you have RDRAM, which is expensive to replace if you nuke it.

You should be able to overclock the video card. Google for the right
software to change clock frequencys.

Dont play with SCSI settings, theres an easy way to mash things up

Hi,

I have this mobo and I believe that you may be able to ramp up the FSB
to 533Mhz (your RDRAM should be Pc800-40ns - or better - although I have
gotten away with a FSB of 533 with 45ns memory).

Not quite sure how it works - but I *think* this would make the CPU run
at 2.53Ghz.

I'm no expert at all - so somebody will shout if I am talking crap. This
is how I read it in the manual - P2 2.4Ghz with 400FSB or 2.53Ghx with
533FSB.

HTH a bit.

Regards
Steve

If you REALLY want to play; dump the Pentium and go AMD.

Get a motherboard with an NForce2 chipset.

My condolences on RDRAM, it's good; but turned out about as popular as the
Sony Beta standard for VCR's a hunnerd years ago. Sell it on Ebay or find a
friend to unload it on and get some DDR.
Reuse the rest of your hardware, Newegg should be able to get you up and
playing for less than 150 bucks total. (maybe 200 or so with memory)
