Title: Overclocking an AMD64 3000+
Post by: rogue granny on January 25, 2006, 01:57:29 PM

At the moment i have a rig which consist of:

  AMD 64 3000+
  Gigabyte GA-K8N nForce3 motherboard
  Geforce 6800gt
  1.5 ram

 I have so far overclocked by graphic card via coolbit from mem 350 to 414 and core to 1.13, increase agp aperture to 512 in bios and tweaked a few other tweaks to get the best from my system for running BF2. I have recently run ntune and it is prescribing that i increase my processor from 200mhz to 400mhz. Now this is where i get stuck, as I haven?t got a clue how to do this can anyone help???

Dont do it. Its really not worth your while as BF2 has major problems with any kind of overclocking. Best get yourself 2 gig of matched memory in slots 1 and 3.

Uninstall any programmes you don't use.

Defrag your harddrive.

Run a virus and spyware check.

Keep your graphics at a low res with medium settings.

Your system will now play BF2 with no effort.
