Never tried overclocking before, might check out for some tutorials. Is it a simple thing to do or does it require special attention and know how?

As with you, I have never tried to overclock my pc Daniel. We need pharoah's expertise here but here is a guide I found - looks too bloody complicated for me!

Help us to help you!
Be specific with your problem and tell us your machines specs.

that depends daniel on how far you overclock it.small overclocks can be easily achieved by simply raising the front side bus.major overclocks take major tweaking.like your cpu i will tell ya a simple oc that would most likely work with out no other changes.also that would depend on your ram.your cpu has a multiplier of 9.so a simple bump of the fsb to 300 will give you a clock speed of 2.7.depending on your memory multi i will assume set to auto.that will raise your memory speed to 1200,so you may need to lower it.try 300 fsb which is a very minor oc really,and be sure to keep your memory speed within spec.also one more thing be sure to keep an eye on temps.your cpu gets to hot you dont have enough cooling for the oc.also use something like prime 95 to make sure the oc is stable.



edit:let me add one more thing.lock your pci express bus speed to 100mhz.

I will check for the settings in the BIOS, and will post some pics if in doubt.

Thanks

EDIT: I'm using a Zalman CNPS9700

The hard part about Swedish is quite a few of the words are spelt the same but pronounced entirly differently, for example: station is pronounced staffu-own but means the same as in English.

Is Swedish related more to the German language or English?

Ours is mostly arabic (lebanese is very similar to Maltese), then it has influences from Italian (Sicialian to be exact) and English. Modern words are very similar to English.

Strange how I hate to learn languages but they're very interesting Most probably because I like history hehe.

There are many german words that are the same but also a few english ones as well. I think its a mixture of German, English and their own words. Norwegian is close to Swedish.
