It depends what type of computer it is. If its a store brand, somtimes they cannot be overclocked.
Overclocking involves much more than a simply adjustment. You need to remember these AMD chips need good cooling, or you'll be left with nothing but smoke.
You really have to ask yourself though......an XP1800+ is plenty fast enough for any of todays applications....and is it worth risking the CPU for and extra few Mhz?
That is a pretty good point. Other than a few points on a benchmark, where are a few MHz going to make a difference.
I have heard that people are getting some amazing speeds from the 1800s though. If that is the case, if you could squeeze a few hundred MHz extra from it, then it might be worth it.
