My other thought was to transfer it to another LGA775 machine. The other one is better, it has 4 SATA's as opposed to the 2 SATA's on this one. It currently has a P4 HyperThreaded on it though, so not sure if it'd read the dual-cores. I thought it might detect the CPU and detect it with a...

I'll look for copper tape, sounds safer, and easier to undo if need be. Too bad I can't software overclock it in Linux... Is it worth it to see if there is a bios update or mod that lets me play with the voltage?

I can't use the utilities, since I want to keep Mythbuntu, and there aren't any Linux software overclock utilities. I'd prefer not to have to buy a conductive pen and risk my cpu. Also the only thing I could use would be either the windshield defogger repair kit thing (googleing said that...

I don't know, I'm running Mythbuntu on the machine now (a media center Linux). I don't think there is a cpu-z for it.

Are SetFSB, CPUFSB, CPUCool permanent or only in XP?

Is it relatively safe? As in if it doesn't work, can it be undone? Where can I find the conductive ink pen as mentioned in the above link? I read windshield defogger paint could work. What about conductive thermal CPU-heatsink glue? I only have compusa, circuitcity, and best buy near me...

Thanks. Google is a wonderful tool, when you know what to search for. I've never done an OC before, so I wouldn't know to google pinmod. Wouldn't increasing the FSB be like adding more lines at the DMV but not making the behind the counter faster? Or am I mistaken? Are pinmods safe? I read...

I know most people will tell me to get a new mobo or something, since these are locked down. I managed to get this machine for $50, with an E2140, and that is all I can afford. A little research showed me with a minimal voltage increase I can get this to 2.8ghz or 3.2ghz from 1.6ghz. However...
