I am in need of a little help and advice. I would like to overclock my CPU , and after 2 weeks of reading up on this..I am unsure how to go about this , but after all the reading I now feel it is time to get my fingers a little dirty and would really appreciate any recommendations on applying settings for my Motherboard , my Bios , my CPU, voltage settings etc.. and last but not least my memory settings...
Also after having read many articles on unlocking my chip with the pencil trick..I am coming to believe that my chip was already unlocked from the factory....I say this after noting that the bridges were not cut at all....and they all seem to be connected . Is this common....or just luck ??? My chip is the tbird 900 with the green core . The #'s on the chip are below...

A0900AMT3B
AFFA0030CPAW
920495300022
26822....bottom left corner.

I realize that the main drawback for my system are my video card and possibly my memory....but for now I have to work with what I have. But I feel that with what I have to work with I should be able to generate better marks than what I have scored .


Really any comments or help that will speed this puppy up will really make my week .
 
Man.... Your CPU is screaming to get overclocked.
All you have to do is raise up your multiplier to the point when it will not boot into Windows... Than raise VCore voltage and try again... in case of luck keep on going... if not than back up multiplier and start to play with FSB. In your case leave FSB/PCI settings at 100/33 and rather go for adding FSB alone( you'll see the settings for that ).
Happy O/Cing and do not forget to check your temps all the time.
You'd have better results with Alpha H/S/F but your cooler is not bad also.
