Is there anything I can do such as overclock to get this to run a little faster.

You know

Overclocking is fun and it can make an older system run much better, but in my opinion posting how to do it here where there are hundreds of sites that specialize in the art is not real good.

Overclocking when you have never done it, is the most dangerous thing you can do to a computer. It require more than me listing exactly what settings to change, which I CANT on every computer. Each system has its own BIOS settings available and there are small software 'hack' programs for getting to BIOS settings in Windows your BIOS may be missing.

there are many ways to clock a system. CPU multiplier, memory divider, memory fq, FSB, combination of all

I won’t get into overclocking because quite simply this site has too many youngsters who will do it, fry a system and point Dad or mom to this forum.

There are plenty of websites that describe the art and how to do it. Once you understand the art, then you must understand your BIOS and your motherboard and your CPU, your memory and your cards. Overclocking bangs them all and you must know where to stop. No one on the internet can tell you what your hardware can and can’t do.

The simple overclock is to raise the FSB or CPU frequency which increases everything at once. Some BIOSs reduce the divider on the memory making the system slower with the overclock and you have to know how to set it up manually so it won’t do that.

There are too many variables for 'how do I overclock" to be posted in a MSFS forum. I think this section if the forum is more for those who already know how to do it and can share their information on the same level with others who understand what is being said and not a "How to overclock for the newbie" forum.
