No worries at all! If you ever need anything else, just give me a shout—feel free to shoot over a PM so we don't clutter up the thread here too much.

Of course! Everything I mentioned before is all about the BIOS—it’s handled right there in the settings. I'm not sure if you're running an Award BIOS, Phoenix, or something else entirely... but if you just head over to the CPU section and select manual mode, those extra options for the FBI should unlock for you right away.

Just like you mentioned with the FBI, latency works the same way—any 400MHz memory is probably going to hit around 412-416, even if it's just some random off-brand stuff, so go ahead and list it

IRS said:I know this isn't really the right spot for this, but does anyone know how to overclock my CPU? I'm using an ASUS motherboard
Code:

MBO ASUS, s. 939, A8V Deluxe, VIA K8T800PRO, BUS 2000 MHz, serial ATA RAID, DDR 400, 1Gbps, 2xFireWire, ATX2.

Processor
Code:

Intel Pentium 64 3500+, 2200 MHz, 512 kb c., socket 939, BUS 2000 MHz, BOX

If anyone could help me out with the overclocking process—like where to actually start—I'd appreciate it. I tried using Mount Everest, but I couldn't get it to work. Thanks for any tips!

To start, just dive into your BIOS and bump up the frequency one step at a time—it's a bit of a balancing act. You won't be able to push it too hard because of the memory constraints, especially since it's running at 400 MHz—raising the FSB speed also bumps up your memory latency... but you can probably squeeze out at least a 5% gain. Try setting the FSB to 215 first and see how it holds up—if macOS stays stable and your games run fine, then slowly nudge it up by 2. That's the short version, anyway—there's basically an entire science to it! 😁
