Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

You could creep it up a little further if you raise the vcore slightly,This is a little more advanced and a lot more risky but by rights you should get away with a couple of points.If your happy with it as it is leave it its over 10% clocked now :) well done anyway :)

If you want a large chunk of performance added, this may be an option

According to the CPU support list, a Duron 1800 seems to be supported, and unlike the old Duron 900, this is based on the XP core, with SSE support - and THIS Duron is a 266FSB CPU, so it makes good use of DDR2100 RAM speed

The next 266FSB CPU they have is more than twice the price, as 266FSB versions are becoming rare, with the Socket A Semprons running at 333FSB

If you want an upgrade CPU for that board, you need to decide pretty soon!

Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

yeh i know the funny thing is places like pc world are still selling pcs with socket a mobos :td:

Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

thinking of doing this one now :devsmoke:

Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

You appear to have one of the very early Asrock mobos there.Originaly Asrock and Asus had ties together something that for some reason Asus had broken all ties and does not acknowledge Asrock anymore :)

Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

its a asus mobo in a fujitsu scaleo L the screenshot shows the specs "sort of"
but i had the cd in from the kids pc the asrock "beer again"
i'll get the details and come back :) thanks

Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

No shortage of Sempron (SktA) CPUs, but they all run with a 333 FSB.

For motherboards with only 200FSB, it's doubtful that anty 200FSB processors can be found, other than secondhand (risky) or perhaps the odd old-stock Duron (Morgan core).
For 266 FSB, there may be a few old stock Athlon XP's around, and the "new" Duron.
For 333 FSB, the Semprons, some leftover Bartons.
For 400 FSB, the choice is bleak, anyone with 400FSB Bartons left, probably has them at premium prices.

The writing is on the wall for Socket A, though it may have a while longer as an ultrabudget platform

Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

I have a spare 266 1.4Ghz Athlon lying around if you want it. The board should take it no problem!

Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

thanks for the offer but its the kids pc and they are playing with it when they blow it i will get another "maybe of you":D

Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

So whats your main pc right now? something new in the pipeline with all this OC'ng?

Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

Ok, well the offer's there. I have no use for it really as I don't have a board for it! Got some PC2100 RAM to, haven't tested it though as I'm too lazy!:)

Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

What speed is the 2100 ram 333mhz?

Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

Nope, 2100 ram runs at 266MHz (133), 2700 ram runs a 333MHz (166) and 3200 ram runs at 400MHz (200), when it's not overclocked of course!

Re: amd duron 900 overclocking
 

LOL okay thanks I have a pc coming soon which runs on 333mhz ram.
