I'm not sure it will run on the IBM, because at the moment, it is running Debian Linux |

I imagine, that if you had a CPU with really poor cooling that you *might* be able to damage it by overclocking, especially if you increase the core voltages WAY over the specs while trying to do it. I have never heard of anyone damaging a motherboard while attempting to overclock. --- End quote --- Depends - I had a Pentium 200 that I overclocked to 225 Mhz by changing the FSB from 66 to 75 IIRC, but the mobo didn't have the proper dividers for the PCI bus. Worked fine with my WD (I think) HD. Then I upgraded to a Maxtor HD and it took six hours to load Windows. I called Maxtor CS and they said that could cause the problems and would also void the warranty. Set it back to 200 and used it with no problems for a couple more years. YMMV. |

According to this page... http://www.emachineupgraders.info/dir1/motherboards/socket478/dublin.shtml ...it *should* support Northwood processors. I think that it only supports ones with a 400MHz front side bus and they top out at 2.8GHz. Here's a search on the Intel page... http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/list.asp?ProcFam=483&NoNav=NO&CorSpd=ALL&SysBusSpd=5095&MfgTech=ALL&step=ALL&cache=5887&PkgType=ALL&btnFOS=Filter+on+selections Here's a little more about the Trigem Dublin, including BIOS upgrades... http://www.elhvb.com/mboards/TriGem/ http://www.emachineupgraders.info/ From what I'm finding on the net, overclocking isn't really an option with that motherboard. Unless you can find a setting in the BIOS that allows you to increase the CPU front side bus, I don't think you can overclock it. If you do find that option, you will probably need to change the clock divider on your memory so that it doesn't get overclocked and unstable. |
