board. Check this data against the lists of CPUs and
motherboards found on web sites such as http://www.
hardocp.com/ and the others listed at the end of this
chapter.
You can also check for overclocking compatibility by
restarting the PC into the BIOS screen. To do this, press
the F4 key just after the PC starts up. Look through the
various options for the one that lets you change the clock
speed. Most Pentium and AMD processors rated for
200MHz-plus installed in the motherboard and made in
the past four years can be overclocked. Search the forums
in the web sites listed at the end of this chapter for confir-
