Hi all!
I want to overclock my AMD 64 3000 + from 1,81 ghz to 2 ghz or more . How can I do that? Any programms or so?

As far as I know, you'll have to go into your systems' BIOS and manually adjust memory speed and possibly voltages.
Will void any sort of warranty, too. >_>

If you don't have the options in your BIOS you'll have to use this:http://www.podien.de/ download "CPUFSB" It's what I use. You will need to open up your computers case and locate the "PLL" number though. Most people don't realize you can overclock preassembled PCs such as Emachine, Gateway etc but you can.

yeah, but kiss that warranty you pay for goodbye if you do...
Also:
1) AMDs have locked multipliers, so nix on that idea...it's for Intel only for the most part (you can get around it sometimes, but it's not easy at last check)
2) make sure you have good memory if you are going to muck about with the memory speed. You will fry it quickly if it can't handle the extra speed/voltage.
3) if you are gonna overclock your emachine or whatever pre-assembled system you have...I very much doubt the beefyness of the HSF on the proc...my last dell (a Northwood P4 @ 3.2ghz) had a passive cooler and was already running too hot...

I suggest reading the Guru 3d A64 OC guide.

It's quite helpful. I got my old 3500+ Venice to 4100+ (2,6 GHz) by studying that guide.

Nope, not really. The worst thing you can do is that your computer won't POST. Then you have to reset BIOS via jumpers.
CPU's and motherboard's have had protection for overvoltages and overheating, so you can't destroy your CPU by overclocking it.

Theoretically you're right but there are some steps to go around the multiplier lock like connecting pins with some thin wire or re-doing some contacts using conductive paint wich can physically destroy your system, especially the CPU and the CPU voltage regulators .
Also, by not corectlly applying thermal paste between cpu and cooler can damage your CPU. Even the CPU has
thermal protection it is possible that you have differnt temps on the different parts of the die (differnet thermal conductivity factors).
I'm for the CPU overcloking but only if you know what are you dooing.

Most modern CPU's have a multiplier lock the only ones that got none are high end amd ones.
But there are dividers you can use for your memory. So you can just make your fsb really high while memory stays at stock speed or whatever. Next to that you can't trace that someone oced. Unless you done any hardware changes like bridges pinwires or voltmods. Any soft/bios ocing should cause no harm. (in the short run)

Thank you for the help!
I think, i will leave it at first at 1.81ghz. Too much things can go wrong, and I have not enough know how about overclocking
But thanks for the weblinks, i think I will try it sometimes.
At least when you're gonna upgrade your system, try it. I isn't that hard.
