JSn1™ Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hi. I always tried to overclock my system in windows XP, but it always ended in a mess, system lock ups, etc. My computer (Gateway CX2724 Tablet PC) came with: > Intel Core Duo T2050 1.6 gHz > 2x 512 DDR2 533 mHz Ram Dual Channel Mode In windows, CPU Z reports that my CPU has 533 FSB. I bought a new ram: > 2x 1024 DDR2 667 mHz Ram. Dual Channel Mode They work fine, just a little difference. However, Mac shows that the ram is working at 533, when they should be working at 667. Is there a way set the processor to 667 as the ram is? Tried at boot fsb=166 but no effect. 667/4 = 166 Laptop details... Down in my signature.

capybara Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 it depends on the motherboard and the bios. its been my experience [fwiw] that computer manufacturers like gateway, dell, etc have bios-es with limited options as compared to boards directly from motherboard manufacturers like asus or jetway. but osx is quite Overclocking-friendly Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/64483-overclock-osx86-on-a-hackintosh/#findComment-461083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atown Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 yeah i dont even know of any companys that make their components overclockable. and the ram, are you sure it was the max your computer could handle? it could have been you just bought new ram that your laptop is clocking lower.

JSn1™ Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 It is supposed to be supported. In part I like OEM machines, in part not. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/64483-overclock-osx86-on-a-hackintosh/#findComment-470263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
