AMD Duron 1200 MHZ - OC

[OC-CLOCK-YOU]

So guys have you tryed to OC this AMD crap ?
I saw that it might need to be unlocked first ?
Any suggetions ?

Thank you

yep, I did. Not much to say about it, only watch the temps as they might go quite high when higher voltage applied.
U can unlock the multiplier by joining the L1 bridges, if your motherboard doesn't support voltage changing U can change it by joining the bridges as well (L7 if I remember correct).

Here's a good "walkthrough", just get a soft pen if you want to do the pen trick.
WHen overclocking keep the FSB and RAM speeds on the same level - when FSB is 108 keep the ram on 108 (216DDR), setting them on a diffrent speed lowers the read speed and rises the latency times.

edit: please note that the processor model on the given link was a Spitfire whereas your 1200 must be a Morgan, check whether the bridge numbers were the same or not, but I think they are

Thanks for the link, thompsonicus. I have the instructions for a VERY simple 'pencil trick' for those old CPUs, but what I have doesn't address voltage and multiplier (etc.) issues for a barebones BIOS like my #3 antique computer is saddled with. It has become a novelty item compared to my best computer, and I seldom run it. Mostly once a month to get the Microsoft XP updates and blow out the cobwebs. It's 1.0GHz Duron processor soldered to the K7SEM v3.0C motherboard doesn't do much for me. S _ L _ O _ W is it's 1st, middle and last name.

Sorry about adding the 'p' to your handle. I'll do better next time...........
