At least we know the reason when harjun doesnt post here anymore in the future.
Red Bull overdose?
Ok.

Two reasons.

bwaaaaaa !!

Ok...i read all of those guides Jack wrote, or linked me to...but i can't seem to find how to get it to work with clockgen ...ive also made a new thread in the AMD CPU section, of www.overclock.net,
Coool...i found this guide...and i got my computer up to 2.74Ghz...its well quick...but i think i should go for 3Ghz

...!

You will NOT get 3 GHz. PLEASE don't even try.

I'm betting you haven't stability tested this?
This is the same laptop you were complaining about overheating in another thread is it?

Overclocking it sounds like a great idea then

No, he assumed it was overheating when in fact it was just slow

ROFL
OK I PUT IT ON SOMETHING like 1.8Ghz now...using the Pll control, it wont let me go higher when i apply the changes...im just gonna restart now
Overclocking doesn't mean your computer will be any faster.
of course it does!
You wanted some simple advice on how to get a faster, stable system. You don't seem to be bothered about frying your laptop, so why don't you just buy a new, faster computer?

You seem to think that if your current Aspire dies you'll get a new one anyway, so why don't you just get a new one? If it's the case that you'll have one bought for you, then take out the hard drive or battery then tell whoever's buying that you need a new one and give the old one away.

I used to use an Aspire at a previous job. It was ok but it didn't half run hot. If you're that serious about cooking it just make it easy on yourself and stick it in the oven at gas mark 8.

that is perhaps the stupidest thing i've ever read.
ROFL this is the funniest thread i ever read

Are you taking something or what because you said you got it to 2.75 now it won't even let you got past 1.8 .

His laptop wont be very fast when its a smouldering heap of plastic and silicon.

Why would overclock always make your computer faster? What is your definition of fast? The actual speed of the processor is measured in instructions per second and floating point operations per second. By your theory, a 3.2GHz pentium 4 outperforms a 2.0GHz dual core processor.

NO, you just put words in my mouth. That was wasn't i said, nor what i alluded to!

By MY "theory" if my CPU runs by default at 200*11, if i set it to 307*10, it runs faster, because it gets a 40% increase in clock speed. If i set the memory to be on a slight divider, the memory runs at 279 FSB, rather than the default 200 FSB (DDR400 > DDR558) which gets me more memory bandwidth.

How do i know it's faster? Well running an app such as Everest tells me my memory bandwidth (which increased) and running an app such as SuperPi has shown that my PC is substantially faster.

I didn't mention cores simply because thats a dodgy route to go down, but if your trying to put words in my mouth about Pentiums, you can stop now. All i'm saying is that unless you kill something or put your memory on a silly divider or can't count overclocking IS faster.
anyway....im going cyprus this weekend...and for the whole of the week...so it'll give ya a break
I understand what Overclocking means, and what its like now

...congratulations, the medals are on there way...?
Dustin's 3 step guide to Overclocking!

1) Increase Voltage, Clock Speed, and Memory speed
2) keep increasing Voltage, Clock Speed, and Memory Speed
3) When it blows up, you went too far.
im back from cyprus....
Quote from harjun :im back from cyprus....

Great....*Rolls eyes*

I guess you overclocked it then, with your extra skill?
