that processor CAN be overclocked, whats gonna determine if you can really oc or not is your mobo, your 2600 has a t-bred core, and still should give you a decent overclock, if the rest of your system permits

Yeah, nearly any chip can be overclocked. The best thing you can do is do is try it out and see how far you can push it. That is part of the fun of overclocking.

thanks for the replys.

i got a few more questions tho

all i really want to do is up my fsb as my processor is at 2 ghz so

im happy with that,if

im correct

when upping the fsb i dont need to mess with the voltage right?

and if im not messing with the voltage i wont need a better cooling solution?

 

thanks and my full system specs are as follows:

 

amd athlon xp 2600(266 fsb)

dfi lan party n force 2 ultra (old version not the newer model B )

512 mb ddr corsair xms memory

readeon 9800 pr0 128

What speed is your DDR? And your default mult*fsb is 14*133? If that is the case, all you have to do is up your FSB by 10. That shouldn't require any additional voltage.

im not quite shure what my multiplier is by default but as long as i dont have to touch the voltage requireing me to up my cooling ill be happy

 

thanks for your info
