Hi,Thank's to NickN's very easy and good manual on how to set up Window XP and FSX, I have notice a very big improvment in speed, but I thing I have to tweak my proccessor so that FSX runs as fastes as I cane do without buying a complite new computer (64bits).I have never done any overclocking so I need help with what program to use and how to set it up so it wont start burnig (LOL)Here are my system taken from Belarc:Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600)with all updatesHP Pavilion 2,20 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64256 kilobyte primary memory cache2048 kilobyte secondary memory cacheBoard: MSI AMETHYST-M 1.0Bus Clock: 200 megahertzBIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 3.47 03/03/20061453,82 Gigabytes Usable Hard Drive Capacity958,10 Gigabytes Hard Drive Free Space3328 Megabytes Installed MemoryNVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT [Display adapter]I have also upgrade my power unit from output=300 to 450-500 as my graphic card need it.I have bought PMDG MD-11 for FSX and follow theres suggestion to use 4GB patch as I'm running XP in 32 bits.I hope that someone cane tell me what to use and how to do.Par BenseredGothenburgSweden

It is unlikely you can overclock your OEM PC. This functionality is generally reserved for custom-built systems which feature BIOSes which allow access to the various settings needed to overclock. You may be able to find a custom/3rd-party BIOS which will work with your PC and allow you to access these features but I do not recommend you do so.

OK, about the setting in BIOS I'm not sure if I understand what setting you refere to.One thing I notice when I look in BIOS was that I could not change the temp, is it that you talk about ?I talk to a friend of mine and he said that I maybe could use RiverTurn to set the overclocking, then use CoreTemp to see the temp and Prime95 to do stress test of the system and see if it is stable. What do you think of that, could it work ?P

ParYou don't have to buy a whole new system at once. That's the beauty of a desk top. Upgrade one or two parts at a time from what you have. It's a great way to learn about your computer. For example: if I had your box, I would spend maybe $150-200 (maybe less) and get a better MB and CPU. MBs in the $100 range and up can quite often be OCed. Heck, I just bought a $50 one that has adjustable FSB. Anyway, do some homework and think about it.Bob
