What Proc to overclock

Generally you can get a good OC on those chips with a good mobo. Generally the mobos that come with pre-built computers are garbage. I wouldn't expect much out of that thing in terms of OC'ing.

Good luck on the BSEL mod! Glad to see some ppl. still do it. It may or may not work, just be cause Dell decided to.

How odd I looked up the 1.4 volt pin mod to add to the overclock. The odd part is stock I got 1.21 volts @ full load and after the mod I get 1.264 now I'm not complaining it's not 1.4 becouse runnning Cinebench both procs it is now stable just odd next step running memstep 3.5 to see if I can tighten up the timmings well Iwill report if anything good or bad happens half expect it to blow up but hey it was free and I'm having fun... if it doesn't hell I might cram an old 8600gts in it Or better yet cram it in a full size case and see what it can do with my 8800GTX. Just so you know this is a chopped p35 ...

Ok well I did the unthinkable most people in these forums would prob slap me for even suggesting what i did. But I did what i suggested above.... And it came out awsome

Same Vostro 200

Put the MB in an Antec 900 case slapped in a X-Fi Fatality and an 8800 GTX 650 watt power supply and
Updated the bios to a hacked all raid version that allows you to use raid 0. Now I have 3 160gig sata drive in raid 0 450 gigs total.

Vista Bench #

3D Mark06 8800GTX Stock 11488
3D Mark06 8800GTX OC 630/1500/1030 score 12230

Well All in all good result will prob game on this PC for a while interesting thing is can take a quad too.

I did this with all parts I had so no cost to me LOL I would never expect someone to throw a 8800GTX on this board but it outdoes my X2 6000+ with the 8800GTX it got 10800 3dmark with the overclocked 8800 so I am happy and all this started with getting a free Vostro 200. Well have fun this would have been a good project it I would have done the BSEL mod and thrown a loprofile 8500 on it nice to see what it can do though.

Yea but if you look at my options I could only bump to 1333 so it would be at 3.0 I would bet at 3.2 the 4xxx series would still beat a 6xxx series at 3.0 ...

So an update to an old thread ... LOL I took a second Vostro 200 did the same BSEL Mod to 3.2 added 4 gigs ram only 667 ram this time but oh well. And I made a Hackintosh. I work on allot of "Real" Macs at work this thing smokes em' kinda fun toy using Kalyway 15.2 about to intall 15.3 works almost 100% only problem I ran into was the Nic I had to chuck in a linksys to get network but other that that I encoded a divx to Ipod movie in 10 min not bad in my book... Need to add video card too it works with the GMA3100 but only res is 1024x768 but for the moment I don't have a crap video card better hmmm wonder if my old 7300 LE on the shelf would work.....
