How do I overclock my toaster. When I am running late for work that toast just doesn't seem to come out fast enough. Please help !!!

<< what is easier to overclock.....turtle beach or creativelabs?? what kinda results has everyone gotten???

LOL! This thread is great!

Funniest in a while!

BTW, warning: somebody burned up a soundcard while trying to overclock! (lol!)

I heard about that! Didnt he throw a pitcher of water on it after it caught fire since he took the HSF off it? See what happens when you buy non-Creative products with their inferior thermal protection!

Fish: Hmm, I'm a little confused, are those figures from overclocking? When I suggested in a previous post that there might be some benefits to o/cing a soundcard, I considered cpu utilization, but then I was unsure as to why cpu utilization occurs with soundcards. Is it because the sound processor couldn't process everything so it passed some of the work onto the cpu or was it because the sound processor was simply not designed to do certain types of processing, thus passing what it doesn't know how to do off to the cpu?

"How do i overclock my internet?"

I've been wondering this myself because ever since I installed Winamp 2.78 my SB Live! 5.1 is only able to get about 45 sounds per second when all my friends are getting at least 60 sounds per second with their Audigy's. I also ran SoundMark2001 and only got 3578 SoundMarks. 🙁

WOW Shooters, I'm really impressed with your SoundMarks score!!

Sandorski, no, that's a stock live versus a stock audigy. That's really how much seperates them! And no, I dont' believe that soundcards hand off what they don't know to the CPU because I believe the SB-Live! and the audigy use the same basic processes and instructions. I believe if they're at 100% utilization they'll pass the rest to the CPU.

Blackened, Absofukinlutely I am 🙂

The pitiful thing is someone actually did put together a sound card overclocking guide a while back. It had benchmarks and everything. Of course it was fake but it was quite funny.

BTW, my 56k modem can download at 57k. And I have the first 110mbps NIC. 😛
