How do I overclock a Dell dimension 3000?

I have a 2005 Dell Dimension 3000 computer with a 2.66 ghz. Intel Celeron and want to know how to overclock it. What is negative or positive aspects of doing this?How do I overclock a Dell dimension 3000?With an Intel processor, the only way to overclock is by increasing the front side bus frequency.



Unfortunately the BIOS on proprietary machines like Dells, HPs, Compaqs and Gateways prevent you from changing the front side bus frequency.



Also, a key to having a STABLE overclocked machine is adequate cooling. Computers by the above mentioned manufacturers weren't designed to be overclocked and have substandard cooling.



Another key to overclocking is having the right hardware. Simply put, the Celeron isn't the best choice for performance computing.



That all having been said, if you find a program called CLOCKGEN, you *MIGHT* be able to get a little extra performance out of your machine by overclocking from within Windows. But as I said earlier, you don't have the best hardware for high performance.



In all honesty, you can probably get a greater performance increase from your machine by cleaning your Windows registry, stopping all Dell preloaded applications from loading, and possibly by adding more RAM. (More RAM will only help if you are in a state of swap as is. If you don't use more than 100% of your available RAM, more RAM won't help anything)How do I overclock a Dell dimension 3000?
Dude, you have a Dell and Dell won't let you overclock your processor. Bummer.



Seriously though, the Dell BIOS is not capable of overclocking your CPU and there is no way to overclock outside of the BIOS. This is not a problem with Dells though. Just about every retail computer manufacturer locks the CPU speed to default. Besides, you're running a Celeron processor, which is one of the absolute slowest processors on the market. Even assuming you could overclock it, you probably wouldn't get the performance you're looking for (definitely not with the stock heatsink, like you're thinking).How do I overclock a Dell dimension 3000?Good Luck.



Negative aspect is that it's a useless waste of time.



Positive aspect is that it will probably destroy itself and you can get a decent computer.How do I overclock a Dell dimension 3000?
u can overclock but take a risk that it will damage ur com because too much heat is produce for overclock.Use more cooler or use liquid cooler for best performance.How do I overclock a Dell dimension 3000?overclock a dell and it will most likely explode
