    I would like to suggest a new *revised* CPU speed thread as the current one is getting a little long in the tooth. Also in reference to claims like these I would suggest using SuperPi Mod with a screencap of the output for validation purposes.

    Requirements:

    1) SuperPi Mod 2M test
    2) Screencap showing Calculation Size, Time, & Checksum less than 75kb and 600 x 600px or linked if larger
    3) List information about the computer tested; Make, Model, Processor, memory or show in picture.

    Optional:

    Battery vs. AC times (only post a picture of the faster time)

    Example:

    Celeron M 1.4 @ 2.36

    AC -1:33.437
    Checksum=CEF2132D

    Validate Checksums against times here

    Well, that's my proposal let me know what you think especially if you have something to add. :)

    I don't get the point of this thread. Overclocking older CPUs? or overclocking celerons?

    Great job on the overclock~!

    Which tools did you use?

    The point of this thread is to develop a way to validate CPU speed claims.

    The Celeron overclock is a pinmod to 533FSB and Clockgen to increase to max stable. It can run faster but since it runs 100% cpu F@H I don't want any errors.

    What is that little "Clocks" utility you have there? A link would be nice.

    Googling "Clocks" returns millions of hits :p

    Edit: Found it :D

    Yeah, that just shows the actual clock rate for the Clockgen utility. It also does a good job of hiding the serial number in the system properties screen ;)

    I was hoping it could read my PCI and AGP clocks, just for curiosity. It couldn't thanx to my SiS chipset (I think it's not supported)

    Thanx anyway :)
