Ok, I'll admit I'm a bit out of practice when it comes to oc'ing, seeing that the last oc I did was on a C466...
Here's what I have - XP2000+, A7V333-R, (2) 512MB Mushkin PC2100, Antec SX1040B w/ 400 W PSU, Alpha PAL8045 w/ Panaflo fan, 4 additional Enermax 80mm case fans. Plenty of cooling there, and it appears that only the RAM would be holding me back (but I don't want to replace it).
I just got a wild hair and decided to pick up one of the High Speed PC XP unlocking kits (for $12, it was worth the peace of mind knowing that if I screw up, it can be wiped off and done over again) while buying a shim (I'm not going to crush this core!
).
My question is: What would be the best course of action, given my slower RAM? Should I lower the multiplier and boost the FSB? Should I connect the L10(?) bridges as well to give me a higher multiplier and try it that way? Should I not bother unlocking and sell the kit to a friend? All the components arrived today, and they're screaming to me to put them together!
Thanks in advance!
