Why does my computer bios say my clock multiplier is 6 and the bus speed is 300 mhz when cpu-z says otherwise and it's supposed to be at a multiplier of 9x at 333 mhz?

It depends on what you are using to overclock your CPU. If you use some kind of software, then it's reasonable because overclocking parameters are valid only when windows (or what ever you have) is running. Also new processors use so called speed stepping technology which allows cpus to change its multiplier and bus speed. When CPU is idling, for instance, when you are checking BIOS setting its decrease power consumption, when you start CPU-z it automatically increase the speed and multiplier.


Which switch increases speed of processor?

There is no such physical switch on common modern cpus that increases the speed of cpu. To increase cpu speed one has to overclock it. Overclocking depends on the cpu and the motherboard. It is generally not preferable to overclock as it reduces the life of cpu and the motherboard, and can even lead to complete destruction of either or both of the components in worst case.


How to overclock a CPU?

The only reliable way to overclock your system is to change the settings in your computer's BIOS. The BIOS (sometimes referred to as UEFI) contains your PC's key settings. To access the BIOS, you must turn off your computer and turn it back on. As the computer restarts, press the DELETE, F2, or F10 key repeatedly.

It is safe to overclock an AMD ATHLON XP 2200 CPU without tweaking the core voltage. However, if you do plan on overclocking to a higher FSB speed, then you will need to come up with a plan to cool the processor as the heat that the CPU will produce will be enormous.

If the performance of your CPU is much lower than that of the reference comparables how can you imporve your CPUs performance?

It might not be your CPU at fault, maybe your other hardware can't keep up with your CPU and your CPU has to slow down for them. If you think that this is not the case, you can always go to your bios and overclock your CPU.

Is it safe to overclock my 2.2 Ghz CPU to 2.4 Ghz?

Generally yes, but I would monitor your cpu temp closely. Anything approaching 60 degrees centigrade is too hot.
