I read this text file that says I have to look at the book that came with my computer and move the jumpers around. What book is it and what can I do if I don't have it? I don't know if the text is right but it seemed like it was it, is there a different/easier way?

The "book" folks are making reference to is the system board manual that ships with your system board. This manual goes into detail as to "what" jumpers do "what". Without this manual and without ledgable markings on the system board, your task becomes more difficult and you risk damage.
However, there are system boards that have these "jumper" options done via software (actually firmware" within your system BIOS.

Hey SJ,
What brand and model is your motherboard? What cpu are you running? If your board is a major brand, you can go to that company's website and download the manual. You need the manual like Toaster said to show you what jumpers or settings do what. Try to get the manual first and then we can talk about overclocking.

You'll have a tough time overclocking the compaq because they don't provide the jumper settings in the manual. They don't want you playing around with anything. PC Mech member "johnnyg" said he is a computer tech and works on a lot of compaqs. Maybe he can supply you with jumper setting documentation that's supplied to techs.

Ok thanks, what about a celeron 500Mhz? I bought it off a guy, it didn't come in any computer. About how fast could I get them up to?

I've got a Cely 500 and can tell you it's not a big overclocker. I run mine at 562 which is 75mhz x 7.5.
The stock setting is 66mhz x 7.5. Some have gotten the Cely 500 higher but I doubt you will with that compaq motherboard. |

Don't even THINK about trying to overclock a Presario, or even putting a different processor in it. Leave it the way it comes or it will bite you HARD. If you want to play with the concept of overclocking, you need to do it with a generic computer with a good quality generic motherboard, not a proprietary prebuilt box. Compaq is as proprietary as they come.
