need some help on overclocking values, at the moment im running an intel pent3 at 450MHz 1GHz, wondering what would be an appropriate value to increase to?
also the previous owner of my pc has set a BIOS password is there a way to crack or bypass the password, i have tried all the generic passwords.
cheers

There is a guide to overclocking in the guides/tutorials at http://www.geekstogo...ock-t11177.html As for the password problem, you could try clearing the cmos to defaults. This is usually accomplished by 1)using the jumper if your motherboard has one or 2) removing the cmos battery. Check your motherboard documentation. If you don't have a manual for your motheroboard, you can probably get one at the manufacturer's web site.

Right, ive rede about the jumpers and cmos battery, i had a look but havent really got a clue what im looking for so nothing stood out

actually just as i said that i have found what i think is the cmos battery, looks kind of like a large round watch battery?

That would be correct.
