Thread: AMD 1.1 GHz Athlon processor

Hi

I could help get the most benefit to the processor AMD Athlon 1.1 GHz; I have RAM DDR 128 and 512, plus a video accelerator 128 mb NVIDIA geforce mx 4000 sound card.

Hello.

Watch how to enhance the performance of your computer, you must first know in detail the parts that compose it, so you'll know what the limits of your machine. At least know that motherboard has a brand and type of ram, integrated video or not, power.

To find details of the components, you can use a program like everest.

I have a fairly old computer, but it has worked very well, so I want to keep it, I wonder if there is any possibility to increase performance, because apparently no longer the cpu for more .....

The team is using the latest drivers available for everything, also has the updated BIOS

Would greatly appreciate any help I can offer, because as I said, though old, I came out pretty good team ...

Thank you.

Hello, for starters I do not think you overclocked too much, since the board is you simply is not good overclocked, in what I can say is that this video is fairly old vga and also that you want to use your pc, that if it is for games, I leave to one side, try the rivatuner but I would not do it for you, I had a similar team and bios and board and mules were not tolerated too well with this board can get burn your computer, since it is not overclocked.

Greetings

Your processor is 100 or 133?

I remember once I had a pc I took as "AMD Athlon 1.10ghz" and that the BIOS Ram were 100 and processor 100 also, I put the two at 133 and the process is like "AMD Athlon XP 1.5GHz ... you can also serve, who do not even remember.

The system bus and RAM at 133 MHz. Was the answer I fear.....

Actually I use it mostly for games but it is all old. But yesterday I was surprised because I ran SWAT 4, Prey and Halo ... (obviously with the lowest video settings possible ...)
The idea was that if you could increase performance allowing myself a little more, but better I think in a new desktop ..... (Either way), since not even worth it to upgrade to a faster CPU as the base is still very old woman ....

Anyway thanks for your input.

In my former pc 128de of 900MHz and the video in 5200 and 384 in that time ram was going well, in this case as the partner said above I already knew the k had the fsb at 133 mm as well buy a new. It would be ridiculous that the board will not tolerate a 2.0 GHz processor up I think those in the limit k about what you can get in everest you the ability to watch maxima?
