Can a Emachines Celeron 633 MHz be overclocked?

[amexblue]

I have Emachines 633 ids. I was wondering If I can overclock. I know very little/nothing about overclocking.
What can it be overclocked to?

What is the probability of frying my computer? :Q

Thanks

It can be overclocked if the motherboard has a Front Side Bus setting (FSB)...
If you can get it to something other than 66 then you can overclock it.

Go though the user manual and look on the motherboard for jumpers to do such.

I bought this machine from compgeeksDOTcom. They did not send me any kind of manual. Does anyone know if I can find the user manual on internet?
Search on google did not yield any manual

OC an Emachine?? MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Sorry, but my roommate has that same computer and it is the biggest POS I have ever seen.

Simply put, there is no way to OC it. I tried it with CPUFSB and it was a no go. Apparently they use a really cheap clock generator chip that doesn't support any other adjustments.

thank you.
I will not try to OC my emachine now.

The eMachines 633 is not really a bad little box. You definitely can't do anything as drastic as OC'ing it. About all you can do with it is add RAM, a better HD, and a better Vid card. Really, when you think of this box, you should try to think of it as more of an appliance than a computer. It does fine if you use it for everyday stuff, just don't expect too much of it. I have one setup as my PVR (personal video recorder) with an ATI All In Wonder Radeon, and it does this job admirably. I even used to do some light video editing on it, before I built my AMD rig...
