i have a old MX200 (mxx200...what ever) a beasty 66mhz CPU, and i want to know how and if you can, overclock it, i read some people have got up to 266mhz out of it and i want to know if anyone knows how to do this as i would love to have some fun with a old PC again :D, my fondest memories of have a intel was owning a old 370 socket CPU, anyone got any ideas on how to do this. also looking at modifying a new type of cooler for it, i also have a SATA card i wanna try attaching to it and see how much more modern tech i can strap to a old machine. (this old machine is like M.E reaper old)

Lucky guy, Even though im 15 I have an OBSESSION with older desktop computers. I like the retro style of them. You could say I was born in the wrong time period haha

Wow this was old as heck, Need to update this signature!

i have a old tower case for it an all, but i need to find out more info, or should i just upgrade it back to the awesome P3 700+ Mhz cpu's, i remember playing Deus Ex GOTY on that with a Geforce 2 64Mb AGP GPU, that old rig was freaken awesome!, also had a old Aerocool 4 pipe Heatsink on it, and back then that Heatsink was the Noctua NH15, with a manual fan control xD haha, it was awesome.

just like now, it's all about the motherboard and Northbridge, you'll need to find an overclocking one. 

Yours faithfully

Ah, i remember the geforce 2 mx, i had one to, back then it felt like a beast, ran great everything i threw at it! Also had an celeron 1000 mhz which was oc to 1333mhz and was actually based on the P3.

mate it ran everything i wanted up till i got my AMD 754, which i believe i had a GT240 in
