Howdy, I have a Compaq Presario. It came with:
AMD 64 3500+
1 gig ram
Radeon Xpress 200 (upgrading to a xfx geforce 7600gt)
The motherboard is the "Asus Amberine M"
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?dlc=en&lc=en&product=1822601&cc=us&docname=c00496280
Anyways when I go into the Bios it is very limited and I can't change anything.
Now there is instructions to "Clearing the CMOS settings" on that hp website. I am wondering if that will unlock the Bios so I can OC the 3500+ to near 2.5 ghz. I am wondering if that is the way to unlock the Bios and if it is what would you guys recommend I set things to acheive a faster speed. I have stock cooling if that matters.
Also I hear that unlocking the bios does something to you version of windows. Is this true and what is the downside?
