Default Why I don't have a plasma or LCD TV either

My system is not overclocked.


As a matter of fact, the processor that my machine uses hasn't even had its
multiplier unlocked. How can I overclock my system if the processor's
multiplier is still locked, for one?


The real question is "why would you want to?". Overclocking is just like
running a car's engine past the redline. Sure it'll go a little (very little)
faster, but at what cost? For every percent gain in speed, you'll lose 10%
in reliability. If you're data means nothing and having a system that can't
go 30 minutes without crashing is reasonable then by all means overclock
the ****er. About the only thing the system will be able to do is run
benchmarks. For a little while at a time.
