ok, so a while back i stopped overclocking, gaming and general geekiness, thus I've fallen behind a lot.
so my pc:
dell vostro motherboard (based on foxconn g33)
core2duo e8500 running stock at 3.15ghz
8gb ddr800
nvidia 9600gt
2 350wpsu's (yes, i have two because i can't afford a big one)
I'm getting a new deepcool iceedge400 next week, as well as some hdd coolers and northbridge cooling.
now, bios is locked as it was a dell machine. is there any way i can overcome this and start o'cing?
dell vostro 200
Re: dell vostro 200
Well, you can do some hard mods to the thing.

You should be able to use Memset to gain some control over memory timings...

Re: dell vostro 200
another link for 775 socket cpu's regarding pin modding:

apparently it pushes an e8500 from 3.15 to 3.8 by increasing the fsb, will try tonight.

Re: dell vostro 200
ok, two questions:
firstly, by increaing the fsb, will this increase the rams' speed?
and second, what influence will this kind of overclocking(pin mods) have on intel speedstep?
