There are two schools of thought as to why you can, or would even want to overclock most CPUs and GPUs. One of them takes the peace, love and understanding route, namely that the manufacturing process is never 100 per cent reliable, so not every chip that rolls off the same production line is born equal. Those with the most lustrous coats and shiniest eyes (bred on Pedigree, presumably) are ready to be high-end components, but those with a bit of a squint and a runny nose may have a funny turn if they exert themselves too much.
Hence, some chips are slapped with a lower official clockspeed and sold for less groats than their beefier brethren. The potential for their intended glory remains, however. Overclocking techniques can unlock at least some of that potential, albeit at the risk of frying the chip completely.
The tinfoil hat/Angry Internet Men theory is based on the same concept but chucks in a bit of paranoia. In this scenario, every same-series processor is born equal, but The Man artificially neuters most of them and slaps different badges on what are fundamentally the same chips. Overclocking, then, is simply a way of taking back what’s rightfully yours.
The truth likely lies somewhere between the two. Mass production certainly makes more financial sense than dozens of separate lines, and it’s true that a low-end CPU or GPU can be made to punch far above its weight, but their stability isn’t as guaranteed as a chip that’s officially able to run at a higher speed. No manufacturer wants to deal with a steady trickle of returned parts, after all. But it does mean home overclocking is almost always productive - and seemingly more so with every new hardware generation.
It’s also increasingly easy. The earliest overclocking on the 4 to 10MHz 8088-based CPUs of 1983, involved desoldering a clock crystal from the motherboard and replacing it with a third-party one, with only partially successful results. Ouch. Still, the precedent was set: a dedicated guy-at-home could exceed his chip’s official spec. IBM, then very much the top dog of PC land, wasn’t entirely happy about this, so follow-up hardware included hard-wired overclock blocks.
More soldering this time of a BIOS chip, managed to get around this. By 1986 IBM’s stranglehold had been broken, resulting in a raft of ‘clone’ systems - and a wealth of choice. Intel’s 286 and 386 processors became the de facto standard chips, and bus speed and voltage controls began to shift from physical switches and jumpers to BIOS options and settings.
It was the 486 that really changed everything however. It’s telling that this was the chip most prevalent during the era that birthed the first-person shooter as we know it: 1993’s Doom very much popularized performance PCs for gaming driving system upgrades in the same way a Half-Life 2 or Crysis does these days. At the same time, the 486 introduced two concepts absolutely crucial to overclocking both then and now. Firstly, it popularized split product lines; no longer was it a matter of buying simply a processor, but rather which processor. The 486SX and DX offered some serious performance differential, and notably the SXs were hobbled/failed DXs, giving rise to the ongoing practice of assigning different speeds and names to what were the same chip.
For a while too, the 25MHz SXes could be overclocked to 33MHz by adjusting a jumper on the motherboard; something less salubrious retailers took full advantage of. Secondly, it introduced the multiplier: performing more clocks per every one mustered by the system’s front side bus. The 486’s 2x multiplier thus effectively doubled the bus frequency. This was something overclockers would make the best of for successive processor generations - bumping up the multiplier was the simplest and often most effective way of increasing CPU speed. Nowadays (since the Pentium II, in fact), the multiplier is locked to prevent this, save for high-end chips, such as Intel’s Extreme Edition series. For a while, there were complicated ways of defeating the multiplier lock: soldering on a PCB for earlier chips, third-party add-ons and the infamous practice of drawing a line onto certain AMD CPUs with a pencil. No CPU manufacturer’s likely to make that mistake again.
Around this time, RAM overclocking became more common place, as memory speeds were ratified, and with that came more tweaking of the front-side bus to compensate for the locked multipliers. Overclocking shifted further towards the BIOS and away from jumpers, which in turn led to overclocking software.
The first was 1998’s SoftFSB, which enabled bus-tweaking from within Windows for the first time. With the Pentium III era came aftermarket coolers, as processors now chucked out so much heat that a standard cooling block and fan wasn’t enough to cope with an overclocked chip. And so it continued, overclocking largely becoming easier and more common place with each processor generation. This leads us to the Core 2 chips of today, and Intel’s current terrifyingly unassailable dominance of the CPU market. Generally drawing as little as half the power of the Pentium 4s that preceded them, most of the range offers a vast amount of overclocking headroom, to the point that a low-end Core 2 Duo can almost go toe-to-toe with the top of the line.
So how’s it done? Key to processor overclocking is the front side bus (FSB). In the very simplest terms, this is the connection between the CPU and the rest of the PC, and its speed defines the processor’s speed to a significant extent. Intel CPUs final speed is the FSB times the multiplier - so if you’ve got an FSB of 266MHz and a multiplier of 9, your chip will run at approximately 2.4GHz. While the multiplier is usually locked - though some chips let you at least lower it, to conserve power and reduce heat - the FSB isn’t. Bump up the FSB and you bump up the chip. In our example taking the bus to 290MHz gives us a 2.6GHz processor. This is no random example, incidentally, it’s what we run the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 in one of our office test systems at, giving it a healthy 200MHz boost that makes a noticeable difference in CPU-intesive games and hi-def video re-encodes.
What stops us from going higher? Not a lot in the case of this particular chip. We’re playing it safe for desktop work, cos we’re in a particularly sweaty office. When we’re playing around with high-end tasks, we can have it running stably at over 33GHz (with an FSB of 370 or so) on a decentish, third-party air cooler. That’s more or less trading blows with the best Intel has to offer on a $200 chip. But while going to 280MHz on the FSB took a BIOS tweak, a reboot and Microsoft BOB’s your uncle, going much higher does involve more fuss.
First up, when our Q6600 is at 33GHz, it’s also running at nearly 70°C when under maximum load (and around 50°C when idling). It’s perfectly stable, but it could damage it in the long run, and on top of that the fan is making enough noise to wake the deaf pensioner in the next street over. Watercooling, a fancier air-cooler or even just a spot of dust-cleaning will bring the heat down, but there can come a point where that stuff becomes more expensive and hassle than simply buying a better processor.
Hurdle the second is the motherboard. Pushing up the FSB doesn’t
affect only the CPU, but also the motherboard and, in many cases, the RAM
and PCI-e slot to boot. In our case, we’re using a motherboard that supports a monstrously high FSB. When shopping for a motherboard, its max FSB will usually be referred to as four times the actual speed, due to the way the processor actually fetches data. So when we’ve got the FSB set to 266MHz, in effect that’s 1,066MHz. When it’s up to 372MHz, we need a motherboard that’s happy at nearly 1,500MHz. That simply isn’t a given, especially on cheaper boards, so shop carefully. As well as that, if you’ve got a board with a stingy BIOS, you may not be able to alter RAM and PCI timings independently of the FSB, which can lead to those falling over. Ours does, and for our mighty near-Gigahertz Q6600 overclock, we have to lower the RAM’s clock speed a little to compensate for the strain put on it by the raised FSB - we have it sitting pretty at 893MHz. It could comfortably go higher, but the real-world benefits (as opposed to the willy-waving benefits, which are a different matter entirely) would be so miniscule that it’s simply not worth placing the extra pressure on the RAM.
Similarly, while faster and, most likely, more expensive RAM will cope better at their stock speeds with a massive FSB, the pay-off is often so minor that value RAM, running at a lower clock-speed may well be enough to make your overclocking masterplan hugely successful. Even the best memory will net you something in the region of just a five per cent performance boost - worth having if every little helps, but it’s the FSB that makes the big difference. And for that, the motherboard is critical.
Thirdly, there’s the matter of voltage. The faster your chip runs, the more power it needs to feed it. As the FSB goes up, you’ll find your motherboard’s North Bridge and your RAM also get hungrier.
Unfortunately, your hardware will automatically report its revised power requirements, so trial and miserable error are required to find the sweet spot. Volt tweaking is a fiddly and danger-fraught business.
Some overclocking-friendly motherboards can automatically adjust voltages for you, but are understandably conservative about it, so for the really big overclocks you’ll need to set them yourself. This needs to be done by the tiniest increments possible, establishing reboot-by-reboot how many volts your embiggened CPU needs; as low as possible, essentially, as firing too many into it can fry it. Establish in advance what your chip’s out-of-the-box volts are and, through a mix of common sense and googling, decide on a number you’re not going to risk going higher than. We pushed our Q6600 from 13 to 1.4V, which is a fairly big increase as volt modding goes. It’s not just a matter of the so-called vCore either - as you go for the big overclocks, you’ll find you’re having to play with the arcane likes of CPU PLL and FSB termination voltage. Again, so long as you raise stuff in tiny increments the risk of killing your chip, RAM or motherboard is fairly minimal.
It’s a different matter with AMD processors, which for a while now have had an onboard memory controller, which allows the chip to communicate more directly with the RAM, which in turn means there isn’t an FSB as such. Instead, you’re overclocking something known as the HyperTransport bus, which is achieved in more or less the same way, but can require lowering the NT’s own multiplier to retain stability when you bump the speed. If you’ve gone for one of the recent AMD Phenom Black Editions, you’ll find it comes with the multiplier unlocked, which makes overclocking an easier affair.
By contrast, overclocking a graphics card is dead simple. As a more self-contained piece of hardware, there’s none of this confusing multiplier or FSB business; just overclocking the card itself, finding the right speeds for both the GPU and the card’s onboard memory. Free software - some of it official NVIDIA/ATI driver plug-ins - will do the trick from within Windows, and built-in safety cut-offs and stability tests make it incredibly hard to damage the card, though of course you are going beyond the warranty. It’s also grown a little more complicated of late in that you may need to overclock the shader clock as well as the GPU and RAM for the best boosts. In the case of NVIDIA cards, it used to be that this was twinned to the GPU speed, meaning a raise in one had a synchronous effect on the other, but for a little while now they’ve been able to be altered independently. So if you hit the speed ceiling on the GPU, it may yet be possible to eke more performance out of the card by pushing the shader clock a little further.
While the present situation is that you can overclock everything and be pretty confident it’ll work, the future of the form is harder to call. One thing seems sure: it’s not a dirty little nerdy secret anymore, but an increasingly common practice, most especially with Core 2 chips. There’s a vast aftermarket cooler industry to support it, and even cheap motherboards can handle a bit of a free boost. If anything overclocking will become easier, with more and better applications to achieve it within Windows, rather than from the BIOS, and possibly more in the way of automatic volt-modding. But much depends on the future of desktop processing. There’s a big war brewing between Intel and NVIDIA as to whether the CPU or the GPU will be the major element in the PC of the near-future.
Intel are pushing ray-tracing using a multi-core CPU to render game graphics, while NVIDIA’s CUDA enables its recent GeForce cards to perform parallel processing, such as video encoding and in-game physics, far faster than a CPU could manage. If either of these bed in, overclocking will need to take them into account. At the same time, the slow move to ever-more cores potentially reduces the need for conventional overclocking, as raw clock speed continues to be a lesser concern to multi-threading and, in the case of 3D cards, the number of stream processors and texture units. That’s hardly going to stop anyone from trying it, of course. Even when its effects are minimal, overclocking’s always going to be a sure-fire way of making a system feel like its yours rather than simply a collection of mass-produced parts.
Modding the case is one thing, but what makes a PC is its performance. When you’ve painstakingly tweaked that performance into something that suits your own purposes, and it’s become something that feels like you’ve gone far beyond what you paid for it, the system will feel more unique than all the green neon tubing in the world could ever hope to achieve.

As Search Engines optimization Grow Smarter, Will You?
Author: Rahul awasthi
As search gets smarter, tricks get cheaper and we get nearer to coming full circle to an original goal of Internet search: that content is, indeed, king. It cuts across the grain of some notions we’ve held in the industry for some time, that there are shortcuts aplenty in the hunt for better search rankings. Search experts at ICMediaDirect.com dissuade clients from thinking that they can or should fool Google and Yahoo. Instead, we show them solid methodology that works. Above all else, your website needs superior content that anchors your search engine optimization strategy.
Algorithmic innovation, much of it by Google’s engineers, has thankfully rendered search engine spamming a fruitless endeavor. This has made the search engine a far greater tool for us to use and, in turn, has sparked the online advertising industry.
Nevertheless, Google and other search engines closely guard their Search secrets. Their constant tweaking compels smart webmasters to not rely on keyword strategy alone. Your site must be prepared to weather the ensuing fallout from any change in web-crawler browsing instigated by their engineers in those far-off, unseen laboratories. Any quest for keyword perfection is folly by nature, since that success is fleeting.
Search engines take link relevancy into account when ranking webpages. As a search engine optimizer it’s important for you to keep your “white hat” on. This means, for the uninitiated, that instead of spamdexing or deceiving the search engine through trickery, you employ ethical means to achieve ranking. Crime doesn’t pay in the search world because deceptive sites get shown the door and no site can afford to pay that price.
Google recently caught BMW’s websites gaming the system and the company’s sites were essentially blacklisted from the results listings. Did BMW not have enough confidence in the quality of their cars and motorcycles or was their online optimizer getting too cute? No matter, it’s BMW’s problem; one nobody needs to have.
Your white hat optimization entails shoring up whatever online relationships you can with other sites for link exchange, promoting your site with new ones for more link exchange, and joining web directories. This is not an instantaneous process, like most SEO work, but it is indispensable for your long-term online planning.
After dashing any notion of SEO trickery from our repertoire we focus on content. Content requires actual work, anathema, perhaps, to those seeking quick rewards with no effort, but this work pays off. You’re charged with producing fresh, relevant content that - gulp - someone might even want to read!
I’ve yet to hear of a web crawling spider that purchases anything online. Until this starts happening (hey, we rule out nothing at ICMediaDirect.com), you should start writing (or rewriting) your website’s content with an ideal reader in mind: your customer. For instance, if you’re marketing rock-climbing gear, sell that helmet, weave the thrill of the sport into your language and not a language of sugar and carrots you believe will attract Google or Yahoo. Be genuine.
State the aim of your site’s business by using clear and direct language early in your text, or “up there” on the page. Indirectness or misleading intros may not only divert the attention of people and cause them to leave, but the same for web crawlers, too. State your business early. Remember: simple beats complex in the SEO arena.
The goal is to win people over. It bears repeating that loading text with a barrage of related keywords that doesn’t keep with a natural flow of language is not going to work, on any level. Did you know that search engines can pick out the poor structural balance in language? They actually pick out overly optimized sites. Those flagged sites can go fish because their ranking is then shot. The lesson here is to work with the system.
Now your content is written. After having a second (and third) person read it over to find any inaccuracies or grammar mistakes, you supplement its structure. It’s time to optimize the text with keywords. But not too much. While it’s okay for a reader to notice repeats of a word throughout the written content, it’s too much when it distracts from the message. Use keywords at the beginning, end, and in header text. Review your text and see where you might re-work some more keywords. Be creative and thorough in these efforts and do not to exceed a 20:1 prose-to-keyword ratio within the copy.
Search algorithms scan text, not pictures. Therefore, it’s important to front-load relevant text onto your homepage, even to a point where you might think there’s too much text. Don’t worry about that. Remember that first time visitors to your webpage who come via search engine are arriving because they’re looking for something specific. Your homepage isn’t a billboard attracting the attention of motorists. Your objective is to “close” on those already interested. If they’re not ready to read a couple of paragraphs, they’re not ready to buy.
This isn’t to say that images are unimportant. They can actually be a tremendous search resource. You should slip in keywords when filling out your image’s alternate text description. Make them fit the keywords of your site and try to have the description of the pictures match the keywords, as well. This way “Image Search” functions of search engines will provide any number of interested queries. This is an area that is a) not nearly as optimized as text and b) increasing in aggregate search numbers. A well optimized image selection for your site could pay off serious dividends, while random descriptions for your imagery will fritter this chance away.
Spellcheck. Use it, that’s what it’s there for. There is no excuse for a poorly written website that smacks of amateurism. Sloppy efforts tend to spook page viewers from doing business. If you’re not up to writing articles for whatever reason, you can hire a professional copywriter for the job. ICMediaDirect.com has them, if need be, one shouldn’t be hard to find.
Any expense taken in regards to your website is a mere pittance when compared to the disparity in value between a well-written site and a poorly written one. Website quality is too important for a business to trifle with. A good web copywriter is well-versed in keyword utilization and can make your specific directives look natural and effortless.
Search engines are getting smarter almost daily and continue to level the playing fields in the process. Subsequently, Search Engine Optimization has turned away from gamesmanship and towards crafting quality websites. Those who put in extra effort will be the ones to reap the long-term SEO benefits and, ultimately, more business.
Good luck.

Arguably one of the greatest inventions the world has ever known. The Internet has opened up the business world; it allows people to communicate across vast distances, cheaper and easier than ever before. There is a world of information at your finger tips. More and more people are getting connected and taking advantage of the great wealth afforded by the net. There are however some fairly serious down sides, identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes. By taking advantage of unprotected surfers, stealing their personal details, hackers can run up huge bills in someone else’s name and walk away undetected.
They say 90% of all PCs are infected with some form of spyware. Spyware is simply a little piece of software that installs itself onto your PC and literally spies on anything you do online. One way, the creators of such software nasties, are using to deliver their cargo is exploiting the popularity of Internet video clips, piggy backing on the latest funny videos. Spyware comes in many guises, Mal ware, Ad ware, Key Loggers, diallers to name but a few. They all aim to do the same thing, that is rob you of your personal data and generate revenue for there creators.
Key loggers for example, simply record every keystroke you make whilst online; broadcasting this data to someone else’s PC somewhere out there in cyber space. Not a good thing when you are buying your latest ‘widget’ from ‘widgets R us’ and are typing in your credit card details, or when you are moving money around through online banking. Unfortunately however secure the website at ‘widgets r us’ is, the problem lies on the PC in front of you now. The key logging software is sat on your PC recording all the details you type in and sending this data to some remote computer. It could be too the far side of the world, or it could be to a PC next door, who knows where it ends up.
There is little ‘widgets R us’ can do as the next time you appear to visit their website they see the same details typed in, the same passwords and they greet you back again. The difference is of course it’s not you this time, it’s some cyber thief, buying your favourite widgets and you’re the one paying for it.
The good news is it’s not that complicated or expensive to protect yourself in the cyber world.
The first step to online security is to get a personal firewall. This monitors the data coming and going over your internet connection, acting as a shield alerting you to anything suspicious trying to broadcast from your PC.
The next essential thing on the list is a good spyware removal software; this will clean up your computer. The good news is there are a few freebies that work really well. You’ll be amazed after running a clean up tool at just how much faster your PC will run. There are also a couple of software packages that act as a firewall specifically for spyware and ad ware, these will alert you should you be straying into an area on the internet known for spyware.
The final piece of your security armoury is a good anti virus software; this will protect you against viruses, worms Trojan horses and other viral software. That attempt to spread your data around the globe.
By investing in these three software defences you can feel confident in being able to cruise the internet super highway in safety.

Author: Rajni Khanna
Two years ago, Google presented a personalized homepage for account holders. This weekend, it officially rolled out personalized search results as a member service.
Now appearing on Google account pages, a prompt-box reads: “New! Google services will now be more personalized with Google Accounts. Learn More.”
Google account holders, (those with Google Toolbar, Bookmarks, Gmail, AdWords, and other Google member-based appliances) will now, by default, see results tailored to their own unique search histories whenever they are signed in to their accounts.
Editorial Note: Drop by the SiteProNews Blog to read regular posts by two of the Web’s top writers, Jim Hedger and Jerry Bader, or listen to The Alternative on WebMaster Radio, the new weekly, hour-long live broadcast hosted by Jim Hedger, covering the world of independent search engine alternatives and, of course, developments at the Big 3.
Personalization will subtly skew results in favour of documents or URLs visited regularly by individual users. If, for example, a user tends to visit a popular travel site when booking tickets and accommodation, results from that site are more likely to rank prominently in relevant travel related keyword queries.
According to Google’s Web Help Center,
“Personalized Search is part of Google’s ongoing effort to make your search experience more relevant to you. Using Personalized Search, you can:
Get the results most relevant to you, based on what you’ve searched for in the past
View and manage your past searches, including the webpages, images, news headlines and Froogle results you’ve clicked on
Create bookmarks you can access from any computer
Personalized Search orders your search results based on your past searches, as well as the search results and news headlines you’ve clicked on. You can view all these items in your Search History and remove any items you’d like.
Early on, you may not notice a huge impact on your search results, but as you build up your search history, your personalized search results will continue to improve.” Google is drawing user information from Google Search History, Google Bookmarks, and personalized Google homepages. A note on a Google Accounts page says they are not using personal information gleaned from Gmail or AdWords accounts. Though not used to affect personalized results, Google is also storing search results from Google Image Search, Google News, Froogle, Google Video and Google Maps in the Search History file of its individual users.
Being logged into any Google account triggers personalized results. Also, signing up for a new Google account automatically enrolls users in the three Google products personal information are being drawn from.
Users with privacy concerns can stem Google’s collection of data by entering their user account and clicking off the default “Enable Search History” box-option. According to Danny Sullivan, who wrote a detailed review of the sign-up and opt-out process at SearchEngineLand, “You can override the decision to have Search History enabled, but honestly, you’ll need sharp eyes. I completely missed that this was added as a default choice to the new account sign-up page. In fact, I missed it twice, as I tested the system by making two different accounts.” (source: Google Ramps Up Personalized Search – Search Engine Land)
Personalization will alter the search results seen by unique users over time though people might not notice a huge difference in the first weeks. As a person’s search history accumulates data, search references will increasingly show frequently visited sites and references to sites that share common links with pages in the user’s search history and those of similar users.
For the SEO industry, the implications of personalization are both stark and subtle. While the trend towards regionalization has limited clear standards for judging overall Google rankings for the past few years, the advent of personalized results makes the standard website ranking report somewhat useless.
Personalization pretty much kills the ambitions of the simplest SEO shops. Successful SEO campaigns will nevër again be measured by strong rankings. SEOs will come to think about their services in a very different way than many do today. It’s no longer about making a document or site rank high on results pages, it’s now about making them rank well consistently.
Optimization techniques for personalized search results will include expertise in site usability, visitor retention, traffic funneling, bookmarking and social tagging, all of which entered the unwritten book of SEO best practices over the past few years. It will also involve a stronger dedication to content creation, document upkeep and overall resourcefulness.
Site usability has a direct effect on visitor retention. Websites with easily accessed, high quality information will likely see visitors stay on site longer and come back more frequently. Similarly, websites that move visitors from one page to the next in a logical fashion should (logically) tend to score better in personalized result sets. As Google records the number of times a specific user visits a site, those a person visits most often will score better placements in that user’s personalized results.
Google Bookmarking, or prompting specific users to add a site or document to their Google Bookmark file, will become an integral tool for SEOs. Google draws information from Google Bookmarks to develop personalized sets of search results for each user.
Google supports its own custom bookmark system and stores individual user’s bookmark files on its own servers. Getting users to add a site to their Google Bookmarks file isn’t as simple as adding a Ctrl+D Internet Explorer “Bookmark Us” link, though adding that link is strongly advised. There are extensions available allowing individuals to copy their IE or Firefox bookmarks into Google Bookmarks.
A more direct Google Bookmarking method involves prompting visitors to include a RSS feed from your site to their personalized version of Google’s homepage by placing an Add to Google button on the website. Another direct method is to use the Google Gadgets API to create customized content-feeds that visitors can add to their unique personalized Google homepage.
Please note, none of these methods actually gets a site or document into individual Google Bookmark files directly but serves to steer users towards including them. The last two will put site content directly on an individual user’s Google homepages.
Does personalization mark the end of the spider? Absolutely not. Personalized results will rely heavily on data accumulated by Google’s bots as they analyze content between linked sites. The inclusion of one document in several people’s Google Bookmarks files will strengthen the chances that other documents sharing links from the one in several Bookmarks files will appear in those user’s personalized results. Personalization will have a beneficial effect on the ethical side of the link building industry, starting with an immediate growth providing social search link building and bridging services.
As Google scans sites in its users search history and bookmark files, it will follow links it finds there. Many of those documents will also appear in that user’s search history or bookmark files. They will also appear in the search histories and bookmarks of other users with similar search histories. Those documents are likely to fare well in searches conducted by numerous other users because Google will spot the shared interest by following links and matching search histories against each other.
Google will also be better able to spot and eradicate link sp@m by enabling Google to better analyze how individual users treat links as they come across them. Given the vast majority of users will tend to stray away from obvious sp@m, and links that do not get clicked will be less useful as time goes on, much of the incentive to try to manipulate results with spammy links is removed.
In all, Google’s move towards presenting personalized search engine results will likely create a better search experience for its users. Though there are a wide array of privacy concerns Google will have to weave its way through and several assurances it will have to make, the creation of a truly effective personalized search engine ranks among the holy grails of geekdom for AI enthusiasts. This week, they took a big step forward. It will be interesting to see where this step leads us.
