Hi you guys,
Recently ive bought a SOCKET 5 - pentium 100 tower, im going to upgrade it with a 133mhz cpu, the maximum a socket 5 board can officially handle, if we dont count the pentium overdrive and pentium overdrive mmx of course.
Im thinking on doing a overclock to this 133mhz cpu
- how far can i go?
- its safe to overclock this era of cpu's?
- it will affect in anyway is life/durability?
Ive read that the overclock can be done in 2 ways, by changing FSB settings or using the multiplier, which way is the best?
thanks in advance for your help,
