Talk about anything that's clean.

I was playing around the other day and i did some modifying to some numbers in my BIOS. Needless to say I now need to run 32°F air thru to keep my system at 50°C......but the outcome is instant sart up and ummm well a really really fast windows Now I haven't tried UO yet with this set up but I have a feeling it will change the way the game plays, I'm thinking similar to a speed hack. I played pinball and the freaking ball was moving so fast I could not see it So I have a feeling it is going to affect UO.
My processor is only running at 110% so nothing big there but I changed some other things around to get my speed But because this is not a 3rd party program it is not considered a speed hack, is it?

I believe a hack/exploit is considered using an un approved 3rd party program or something that interrupts the data stream, you will be doing neither so GAME ON!

Actually Rex, while you are correct about one of the aspects of hacks and cheats I am pretty sure that amping your processor would count as the same thing...I remember reading something about it a while ago...Basically a hack or CHEAT is considered ANYTHING that gives you an unfair advantage and anything that makes you faster or stronger than the game allows...

ya thats why I can only run up to 110% is because thats all my motherboard can take It gets stupid when I try and go over 110% "File not found. Please repair windows" Teach me to go with a cheap board

I disagree, overclocking is not some secret, you can learn step by step how to do it online -- ANYONE/EVERYONE can overclock if they choose to, it's not like only members of some secret sect can do it, if you choose not to, then that's your choice.

AMD rocks but damn they get hot..I went with AMD because no one else likes em lol....turns out they perform alot better. I had a 1.1 that I ran at 2.0 for a long time till I upgraded to my 2.2 that I'm running at 2.488. I could Probably crank it up to 4 if I had the motherboard to support it. Anyone ever done any RAM clocking? I'm just reading up on it now so I don't know too much about it other than its the same concept.

not sure, but my gut feeling is this wont affect your UO play as much as u might think.
Its all about bottlenecks, and whether u overclock a processor, or buy a faster computer ... the biggest problem is the bottleneck at your cable modem thru the cable.
For example, I just upgraded my switch here to gigabit, from 10/100 ... theoretical aside, reality says I prob got 40 input before and will get 400 now ... between my computers, since they go thru the switch to each other.
But ... then I dont have a gigabit router, and even if I did, the cable has a theoretical thruput of 38 .... mine does 6 DL, 2 upload, which is very fast compared to most cable tests.
So Im flying around at 400 from my computer to the cable modem, then POOF Im at 2 uploading and 6 downloading, and thats my bottleneck.
Realize too that performing tasks faster on your client WILL make your game play faster, but again, once you get the processor past about 3.2 megaherz (AMD, not the crummy Intel which performs about 1/2 of the advertised megaherz), with topped out ram, you prob wont see any diff in gameplay.
If you do I would be surprised and would love to see what kinda thruput u have on your isp, cause everything Ive tested and run here proves the bottleneck is in the cable modem (that surprised me when I learned that).
And lastly overclocking isnt illegal, its like Jr said, its like upgrading your computer.
