i met one of my sisters friends thru msn messenger and i told him of my woes in reaching 600MHz and that i currently have a 500@550MHz K6-2 alon with my other specs.
he replied that he had a PentiumII 350@400...
now correct me if i'm wrong but pentiumII's are clock-locked right?. so he'd have to up the FSB to 114.28MHz. Is either multiplier changing or setting the FSB to 114.28MHz possible on a PentiumII on ANY motherboard?

thanks in advance

What he may be doing is using a program like CPUCOol to up the FSB in Windows.

Raising the fsb on a clock-locked system still raises the cpu frequency. PII's are not great OCers, but it is possible. Clock-locking refers to the multiplier being locked.

There are mainboards that have a 115MHz FSB setting on them. That would make his processor run just a bit over 400MHz.

I ran my Pentium II 350 @ 400 very easy using an Abit BE6 MB and some good cooling.
Just increased the FSB.

Then there's also that possibility that he has an engineering sample,those aren't clock-locked. That's very unlikely though.

yeah. he didnt seem to much of a techy person enough to overclock. he said that he was only gonna get "processors by pentium" from now on because his dad wouldn't let him buy a celeron.

Thats funny...but the third cpu I ever overclocked was a P2 333, and I ran it at 500 MHz the day I bought it.

bba thats a nice overclock!
what cooling did you use?

I still have my 366 that I had clocked to 550 on a be6 mobo.. ran it like that 4 a year and a half.. just retired it 4 an 800 on a asus board.. but next 1 will be in the 1 gig pluss

I used the factory OEM heatsink with no fan and I had a fan mounted through the side of the case over the CPU.
