Isnt the SH4 a chip from the DC? How can I overclock it? Need to change something in the DCs Bios?

Indecisive.. hm, I'll look for a hacked bios for you.

Yes, the TA1's arent\'t as good overclockers as the TB1's, but no doubt you could hit 1.6GHz (133 FSB). No doubt whatsoever. :p

Couldn't find a bios anywhere.. so your bios has absolutely no options for raising the fsb? Well that sucks.. have you tried looking at the board and see if it has any jumpers for it? I remember my old sony P200 had em..

And what the hell do you mean by that? :-/

first, be sure you have booted to xp as an adminitrator

secondly, if your bios is locked you should have a tool (on the cd with the mother board) to overclock your cpu... it's the case for me with my msi 845 ultra, i must use fuzzy logic...

I am confused by Strange's stats.

CPU*AMD Athlon XP 1700+ @ 2.4Ghz [12x200]*

The 1700 means it runs as fast as a P4 at 1.7 Ghz. Doesn't that mean it should be a little slower. My Athlon 3000+ runs at 2.1 Ghz. I get around 55 in game with the overcloking on 115.

No.

Athlons are generally faster than Intel's when comparing exact clock speeds.

Pretty much stays in the high 30's and low 40's most of the time :down: ... replays seem to be normal speeds though.

Anything i can do with my settings to get a better framerate?

Heh - you wrong... If i wann tell what my Athlon working as fast as p4 2.4Ghz, then i can write 2400+(2000Mhz real) but my CPU working at 2400Mhz(i o/c it from 1470Mhz ofcourse) - its much faster than your XP3000+ - its about 3450+ in other words its 1 of the powerfull CPUs for now...
That's very odd.. you're not getting any more FPS than my p3 tualatin @ 1800 is.. :/ It doesn't make a bit of sense.
Hmm you see strange thing? - P4 and Chanka is really a bad couple. lol - my 1700+ at 1470mhz was faster :p
But that is really interesting thing
well I recently went on a discussion with a fellow chankast user and I came to the conclusion that another strong part in your system is what sound card or integrated sound card you are using. For the longest while playing soul calibur I was getting 40-45 fps on my 2.8p4 with 1gb of ram, I even tried to run it at 3.2 with only a 5fps increase. Baffled by this decided to check my sound, well Iam using a realtek 658 integrated sound on my system but I had and old soundblaster live card lying around and decided to try it. And then it happened full 60fps while playing the game and 115fps while watching the intro (in fact it ends way earlier than the music). I tried other games with the same result, try a pci sound card (prefferely a sb live or turtle beach) if your using integrated sound(for desktop of course). hope it helps
