Re: Overclocking tool for AMD proc?
 

i belive the correct number for 2.0 on a 1700+ (i think thats what you got judging 1.5 gHrtz) is 340fsb. jsut keep pusing it up in bios until you reach 2.0. its easy.

Re: Overclocking tool for AMD proc?
 

the reason we call it the same thing sometimes is because cmos options can be found right next to the bios. so we get lazy. AMD dont have to have high clocks. the 2500+ doesnt imply its supposed to be clocked at 2.5gHrtz. its a comparason to intels never ending slow gigahertz. 2500+ is slightly faster than a intel 2.5gHertz. i dont think they do it for "saftey" but i could be mistaking. get rid of that MSI board, my old one killed my PSU and 120 gig ide samsung, im SATA now, but lots of MSI boards turn out faulty after a few months. ASUS are really reliable, same with gigabyte and CHAINTECH.

I dont know, but i do know that AMD underclocks there procs that the advratized clock, they do this for uhm safty reasons (not to damage the mombo if it does not suport the speed). But anyway i changed the FSB in the Bios and it did not seem to do anything, and the ClockGen does not allow me to over clock my FSB. And my mombo is msi, my comp is custom built.

And yes i know what CMOS is, but the nerdyest of nerds call the BIOS, CMOS, incorrectly i know but they just do.

Re: Overclocking tool for AMD proc?
 

And they're quite frankly trying too hard. Most digital cameras use a CMOS sensor, which has nothing to do with the BIOS (a system's basic input.output system). It's BIOS, not CMOS (CMOS chip is closer, but still incorrect).
