Who's an [MU] Overclocker

[Rags]

Actually, Maggi, you can "overclock" some modems by forcing a firmware update. What kind of Modem do you have?

Hey Rags, it's a USR Sportster Vi 28.8/33.6 ... do you think there are any chances to get it up to 56K ?

________________________________________

Hi Cloudy,
I use the P2B-DS here at work with two P3-450s and I had it up to 112MHz FSB resulting in 2x504MHz at default voltage ... no prob, but I have too many cards plugged in that need the PCI bus in spec.

I guess your Celeries are holding you back ...
Did you already try to up the VCore ?

------------------
Cheers,
Maggi

Jake -
1200 bps closet-size modem

:P Oh come on now, my older (then top of the line speeds) 300bps wasn't even that big. Infact it was smaller than the cronograph (fancy name for a clock, as computers didn't have them built in back then). OK, so it might of been a Hayes 'slim line', but even large modems with accustic couplers (phones weren't always 'modular' you guys know, right...?) didn't quite qualify, unless that's a really really tiny closet. Oh well enough strolling down memory lane.

Mwuahah =)
Overclocking is a good thing.
As can be seen from my .sig, i've got my main machines OC'd to 558, with my G400 DH32 oc'd to 120% (at both 800x600 and 1024x768...yay!). Disturbingly stable.
My parents machine ... which was actualyl the Celery 300a@450 rig i built a year and 3 months ago, also has my old mystique G200 in it.
What can I say, i'm a Matrox Man now =)
Guess i'll need to keep with the tradition and make my next machine an Athlon with a G800 or somesuch. <Grin>

Yeah, me overclock too - my PII-333 runs along at 504mhz, and the G400 is sometimes at MAX speeds (But I'm not sure about the RR-G liking that....).

Anyone know how to overclock my CR-Writer to get it at 8x? Or my HDD to make it run at 10k rpm? Or the 10mbps hub I connect to at uni to 100mbps? Or my modem at home from 56kb to 155mbps?

Jake,

Actually both of my ISA USR Sportster modems were originally 28.8 modems, I found an upgrade for each of them on some Warez sites and "forced" them to take the upgrade (normally you would have to pay 3Com to get the upgrade), I ran the upgrade wizard, inserted a floppy, it wrote to the floppy, flashed my modems bios, I rebooted, Windows found new hardware, I pointed it to my floppy and HAPPY DAYS, I had an X2/V90 modem for each of them, my connects are usually around 45333 right now. Not too shabby considering that I was making due with 28000 connects before.

Rags

[Jake]

Rags,

What modems?

I suppose that the modems you are talking about have flash bios built in. Not many 28.8 or 33.6 modem have that. And if they do, you might screw up your modem by installing the wrong bios. It would really surprise me if the tolerance (noise) of the modem components would operate without fault at an OC'ed speed (read too advanced protocol).

In short, SHOW ME THE MONEY!!! Give us some examples/links to same.

Regards,

Jake

You think I could OC my 1200 bps closet-size modem to do ADSL or at least ISDN speeds?
(Don't get pantyhose in a knot. It's a JOKE!)

[Jake]

Rags, you lucky SOB!

No really, that rocks! Seems there's a first for everything. Are you using both modems in your PC at once? If so how does it run? Double the speed?
And you are right, it's not too shabby!! I only wish I could do the same...

Regards,

Jake

[Rags]

No, just one in each of my machines. I can't afford the extra phone line and extra charge for the 2nd internet access.

[Lukey]

Hey all, long time no chat..

Just saw this thread, good ol Pauly, keeping everyone entertained as per usual!!

SteveC, quick question, how in god's name did you get your 333 to 504!! Goddamn, mine won't get anywhere over 413 without crashing in Unreal and Hl... Whats your secret?? What mobo you using etc.?

I need to know...help me Obi-Wan, your my only hope...

Later all

[ALBPM]

Hey Lukey!!!!

Where have you been all this time???? I started this thread in honor of your previous Overclocking Thread to get things going on the old Hardware Forum again

You get your Arse back here we miss you!!!

Pauly

[Jake]

Rags,

Let me get this right. You have two modems but only one phone line. You must have both modems on the same line or you are only using one of them. Why didn't you buy an external model? And do you really need internet access from two different PC's? Strange!

So many questions...

Btw. if you are only using one of them, I'll mail you my mailing (snail mail) address. (Birthday Nov. 20th. Hint, hint!)

Jake

[Rags]

Jake,

One of the computers is my wife's, sometimes she likes to surf the net while I am playing games or doing some programming....Basically I did it to save my marriage

The reason I don't have an external is because I got both of these modems for no charge, and see no point in spending any money on something that is going to get me little more benefit than I already have.

[merchant2112]

hell yes im a over clocker.

it all started with a amd k62 200 at 233
then 300a to 450
then i got my hands on a p2 350 to play with for free and banged that out to 464
now its k7 500 to what ever after i check things out for a few months to make sure every thing is working fine. then its 650 at least.
