Overclocked AMD Dell! It works!

[shoeish]

So I bought a cheap Dell Dimension 521 for my home theater. Athlon X2 3800, 1gb RAM, so on. Turns out it is a *very* nice machine. SATA everything, the fast Seagate 7200.9 160gb drive (73mb/sec on hdtune), and the main reason I bought it, its dead silent.

Once I got Vista Home Basic stripped off for a version of XP and got my media software running, I decided to see if ClockGen would work. It did!

I haven't pushed it yet, but I have 2200mhz running solid with NO effort at all.

ram clock speed is like 368 should be 400 should it? my sig pc has no bios functions and the ram only runs at 385.

It should be running double that, since its PC-5300 DDR-2.

I wonder if this will work with the Dell E520 Dual Core 2 Duo's? Any help would be appreciated...

Try this:

im talking 400x2 cpuz shows the base rates like mine goes to 200 in cool and quiet then ramps up
