okay, I thought that was too high of a jump, but I would still like to overclock it a little, because I have a cpu usage meter gadget on my desktop and it easily hits 100% when I run programs like firefox, or I simply start up the computer and log on.

I don't want it to overclock it too high, but just enough to make my computer run a little smoother.

any suggestions on what I should make the jump to?

I think with modern CPU's the motherboard has to support it, like I said look in the bios on boot.

I remember messing with jumpers to overclock a 90Mhz P1 to 110Mhz, but I don't think you can do stuff like that anymore unless the motherboard supports it.]]> scanff OfftopicThu, 20 Aug 2009 19:04:22 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,29922,29965#msg-29965 Re: Need Overclocking Advicehttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,29922,29965#msg-29965
If you are going to do OC anyway, I would recommend to not go too far from 2.4 GHz, if is possible. If you raise the speed too much, the processor will melt...]]> DanielHueho OfftopicThu, 20 Aug 2009 17:51:11 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,29922,29955#msg-29955 Re: Need Overclocking Advicehttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,29922,29955#msg-29955

Usually overclocking has to be supported by the motherboard. It will be in the bios settings.]]> scanff OfftopicThu, 20 Aug 2009 07:05:44 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,29922,29923#msg-29923 Re: Need Overclocking Advicehttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,29922,29923#msg-29923 daniel_c_w OfftopicThu, 20 Aug 2009 04:09:34 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,29922,29922#msg-29922 Need Overclocking Advicehttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?14,29922,29922#msg-29922
