I just upgraded this 2.0 to a 2.8 in this Dell 8200 computer.. seeing as its a new processor that didn't come with the computer it should be able to be overclocked...any suggestions on how to do this? And don't say "SoftFSB" cause it don't work. lol

Burn it in with Prime95 or dual F@H clients for a good 12 hours at least. Check your load temps on your cooling. Go from there.

Being that it's a Dell, I sincirely doubt there will be any overclocking options in the BIOS.

Are there?

Still a delll, if there are no bios options to OC then you cant.

Sorry if I'm making peeps restate points, but I'm a n00b at OC'ing. I have an intel 875pbz mobo, p4 3.0, 1 gig OCZ perfomance 3200,X800XTPE. I would like to OC the cpu to get better performance out of my video card. What do I have to do to OC the cpu? What steps?
*edit- i downloaded a program from intel that allows me to change the pci/agp, lower the ram speeds..but I dont know what the hell im doing and the readme sux.

First off, do not use software programs to OC, always use the bios.

Your ram is 3200 so thats 400mhz DDR, IF you OC the cpu you should set the fsb:ram ratio to 5:4. You also want to lock the agp/pci bus at 66/33.

What brand motherboard is this?

^^^intel mobo..where in the bios do I make those changes?

Intel brand, options are probably not there. I dont think intel boards let you OC.
