How Do You Overclock An AMD Athlon XP 2200?
The Athlon 2200+ XP processor from AMD works much like any other processor. This means that it can be overclocked like any other processor, provided the motherboard supports overclocking. Just remember the math behind overclocking: Front-Side Bus speed multiplied by the internal multiplier equals the overall processor speed. Restart your computer. Press the proper button when your computer restarts to enter your BIOS. This button differs from one manufacturer to the next, but is most often either “F2,” “F10” or “Delete.” Navigate to your CPU Settings screen, which will either be labeled “CPU Settings” or “Processor Settings.” Adjust either the front-side bus speed or the processor multiplier (both are clearly labeled). Be sure to adjust them in modest amounts, so that you minimize the risk of burning the processor out. Exit your BIOS, saving your options before you leave.
