AMD Athlon XP 1700+ or sempron 2200+

The 2200+ operates at 1800MHz, and the 1700+ operates at 1467 MHz. Look it up here:
*139.95.253.214/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=13,E=0000000000141540400,K=4622,Sxi=9,Case=obj(1224)
The performance increase would not be that evident unless you kick in CPU intensive tasks like video encoding or gaming at higher resolutions, etc. You can run the benchmarks on it from either SiSoft Sandra or the conventional Winstone/Content Creation tests. CPU testing in PCMark03 should also show you the difference in performance. Dont expect a massive performance boost across all applications. Its not dependent ONLY on CPU frequency.

Hi valtea,
Is the above for for the old 1700+ or the new 2200+? If you are refering to your newly-upgraded 2200+, you need to set your multiplier correctly in the BIOS to 13.5x (in comparion to the 1700+ where you were using a multipler of 11x). Please refer to the link by enoonmai as a guide.
Also, you might want to use utlilities availble on these links to identify your processor.

In the heading you mention a Sempron 2200+ and in the question itself an Athlon XP 2200+?

Walking, since 2004.
i guess for normal surfing, e-mail, chatting and movies/songs, a 1 ghz processor is sufficient. Frankly, for these purposes u won't notice much of difference in performance. i would discourage upgrading if you do only the normal tasks.
Of course, its a different matter for the gamers and professionals doing heavy graphical-intensive work.

Hi Valtea,
9x as the table says. The table up there is for Semprons and not for Athlon XPs. I was under the impression you had upgraded to an Athlon XP 2200+.
The confunding factor for me was up there where you wrote...
Yes, for the Sempron 2200+ 1500MHz is absolutely okay, with the multiplier set at 9.

Hi,
That Sempron you are using is multipler locked, so you won't be able to do that.
For that matter, even for processors that are not multipler locked (like some of the Althon XPs etc.,), I would not recommend exceeding the recommended mutiplier unless you are deliberately trying to overclock (and are aware of the risks involved) -- or in other words if you had a processor that is recommended at 9x and you stepped it up to x13.5
-- the computer would not pass the P.O.S.T (power on self-test).
-- If it did, some crashes sooner that you would expect.
-- Your processor would fry up -- motherboard would be damaged as well.
-- et cetera et cetera
Cheers,
DH

Hi Valtea,
Yes, unfortunately you can't overclock it by increasing the clock multiplier.
However, if you want to overclock, you should be able to increase the FSB via your BIOS. Having said that you need good quality RAM/motherboard that matches up to overclocking using this method. Also, you need to keep a close eye on the temperatures using software like MBM, etc. You will also have to install additional cooling (fans/better ventilation etc).
In a low-end board, you will probably end by with system reboots, hangs, overheating. Actually, the Sempron is not the best processor for overclocking (as compared to many of the Athlons XPs), so personally I don't recommend trying this out.
Lastly, overclocking is almost, I dare say a "cult thing," and I am sure there will be many here to guide you through it.
