Hello
New to forum. Thanks for your help.
Recently upgraded cpu of my HP DC7100 SFF from P4 2.8ghz to 3.6. Since the cpu upgrade, I haven't noticed a significant jump in performance. Simply logging into pc takes longer than expected. And running Outlook or Excel causes the cpu's fan to blow loudly.
Specs:
3gb ram
XP SP3
Built in video graphics card.
No special apps or games yet.
OEM power supply, 240v.
1) Could this be a power supply issue? Do I need more volts?
2) I have heard about overclocking a cpu. How can I do that?
Thanks,
N
