:crazy: ... ;-)
Seriously, I hope it works out.
Questions for the tekkies out there ...
Wouldn't the rest of the board still be operating at it's normal slower speed?
Wouldn't this require "wait states" (or whatever the modern equivalent term is called) to be added to each access of system memory or AGP slots or PCI slots?
/* IMHO....
I can see overclocking the CPU if the cache memory is large enough to contain the entire program you are running, plus all the data it needs to do the job. If the CPU has to continually access the normal system RAM or disks or PCI slots or AGP slot, then it will be restricted somewhat by the speed of those external interfaces.
(entering dinosaur mode) ....
In the old days we accounted for slower memory or I/O devices by adding "wait-states" to each access of those slower RAM chips or I/O devices. This involved stretching clock pulses or using "wait" signals to tell the CPU to stretch out the access long enough for the slower device to respond.
