I am a newbie to overclocking, but have a mobil AMD Athlon 1346 CPU. (It's
confusing since this thing also goes by the name "Thorouhgbread-A" and "1500+")
Anyone have experience working with this chip. I heard that mobile runs cooler
and for that reason is best for overclocking. How fast could I really make
this machine, 2000??

The chip temp is in the 36-39C range. How could I heat up things a bit with a
little overclocking? Core voltage (whatever that means) is 1.45 volts. Do I
increase this? What should I do? Are there any test programs to see if what I
did to OC screwed up anything. Any advice appreciated. Thanks
 
Don't think its worth overclocking at all :(

Now a mobile 2500 is maybe worth overclocking to a real 2.6ghz :)

First thing to do is read some o'c FAQ, and seek some reports
from others about how high they got that chip, with what
heatsink, fan, case cooling.

Next backup your data and familiarize yourself with the clear
CMOS jumper.

Finally crank up voltage, probably around 1.8V if the heatsink
can stand it, set max FSB rate that both the board and memory
will run stabily, keeping PCI bus fairly close to 33MHz if board
doesn't have PCI lock, and set multiplier such that result
approximates what other people have achieved with same CPU.
Adjust FSB & multiplier, voltage, till you find a happy medium.

Extensively test that configuration.

This is not an overclocking newsgroup, please seek more details
specific to your parts (motherboard) there.
