unlocking the CPU multiplier

[Big Booger]

In your case,
I would recommend a reformat and reinstall. Also try adjusting some of the settings in XP to see if you get better performance.

I can't see how a system with all of those components would have a bottleneck. If you had another OS, you could possibly try it and see what you get.

Another thing is to use a ram tester to see if you have a problem.

I use the online test from pcpitstop:

They offer many suggestion on improving your overall system performance. Try it out.

I wouldn't look to overclock anything now, as it would seem that your system is just needing to be tweaked.

Try tweakXP, and see if you get any performance gains...

Etc..

SoftFSB is located at the link below:

but I don't know if it will let you unlock the Multiplier.. Intel kind of screwed you in that department about 4-5 years ago.


good luck
