OK, Who's Overclocking The Earth?







OK, Who's Overclocking The Earth?

OK, Who's Overclocking The Earth? 12/31/2003 01:14 PM

Remember back in 1999 when people started talking about "internet time", which was this crazy notion that, thanks to the internet, the usual course of business went much much much faster? Well, it sounds like the Earth tried to get in on some of that, as it's now been revealed that since 1999, our home planet has been making it's annual trek around the sun one second faster than it was for quite some time. Between 1972 and 1999, we had to add a special "leap second" each year, since the Earth was slowing down, and losing a step. However, since 1999, for reasons no one is quite sure, the Earth appears to have caught a second wind and is speeding up a bit.

Overclocking is easy if you have the right equipment to start with. It can cost nothing if your temps are ok. Its a quick, cheap and easy way to get more out of your PC.

Overclocking the Mac mini


Overclocking the Mac mini 02/05/2005 09:07 PM
The article looks convincing enough, but I'm not willing to test it. This how-to details how to overclock a Mac mini to 1.58GHz but the nearly microscopic jumpers make this soldering challenge a bit too daunting for a humble graphics geek like me...then again, the Mac mini is so cheap, it's almost disposable. Let us know if any of you were brave enough to attempt this feat.


Stealth Overclocking


Stealth Overclocking 04/12/2005 01:05 PM

There's an awful lot of overclocking out there: The Windows team at Microsoft was getting some bizarre crash reports. They followed up on 10 of them, and found that five people had intentionally overclocked their system. As for the rest:

The other half said, "What's overclocking?" He called them and walked them through some configuration information and was able to conclude that they were indeed all overclocked. But these people were not overclocking on purpose. The computer was already overclocked when they bought it. These "stealth overclocked" computers came from small, independent "Bob's Computer Store"-type shops, not from one of the major computer manufacturers or retailers.

So are these shops buying slower processings, then overclocking them and selling them as CPUs of the actual speed they've been overclocked to? Sneaky. Sleazy.

From our friends at Engadget, and here.
Overclock your Mac mini to as much as 1.58GHz

854.jpg

So you’re feeling lucky with that new Mac mini of yours, are you? But lucky enough to pop off a couple soldered jumpers on the motherboard in order to get an extra couple hundred MHz out of the thing? Oh really? And what if the chip doesn’t take the overclock, and runs unstable, as they often do? (You might not know this, but overclocking is more of a PC thing.) Well, step right up then, Mac mini enthusiasts have sorted out how to get 1.5 and 1.58GHz out of your cute little new box—whether it wants to or not. We can’t wait for the water cooling mods.

Cory Doctorow: These guys are overclocking their tired old Nintendo Entertainment Systems, cranking them up so that the games go all non-linear:
Super Mario Bros.
This game ran fine up to about 4.0 MHz when the graphics went insane. It maintained stability no matter what. I couldn't get it to crash except going past that.

Super Mario Bros. 3
This also ran nicely, but the graphics went nuts around 3.6 MHz. It maxed out around 4.2 MHz, but wouldn't crash unless pushed further.

Kirby's Adventure
This game lags like mad all the time, so the gameplay is actually noticably slower at the stock speed. Using the abilities like Fire and Spark, especially around enemies using them as well, can grind the game to a halt. At 3.0 MHz or so the lag was pretty much entirely removed, and gameplay smoothed out tremendously. Around 3.4 MHz however, the graphical corruption became very, very bad. The status bar at the bottom of the screen started to rise up onto the game area. The higher the clock, the higher it went, blocking out my view of the game. Then the topmost sprite layer started to go insane around 4.0 MHz. The game kept running stably in the background though. ;)

Chip'n'Dale's Rescue Rangers
It's very hard to find lag in this game, but there are a few distinct points. These were smoothed out at 2.3-2.6 MHz, but the game ran stable up to 4.4 MHz. Past 4.0 MHz however, the sprite layer went nuts like the other games, with random tiles flashing everywhere. No crashes however!

Overclock Your TI Calculator


Overclock Your TI Calculator 04/18/2005 10:04 AM

redcase.jpgI was the coolest kid in PreCalc, having splurged and bought the six colored TI-83+ calculator cases offered on their web site. (True story.) Now you can rice out your TI from the inside, overclocking your calculator with a quick trip to Radio Shack, a soldering iron and a basic comprehension of the term "will void your warranty." Overclocking TIs is nothing new of course, but we believe each new generation deserves to run TI-Snake and Drug Wars at its very quickest. Richfiles has full step-by-step instructions and pictures for every model from the TI-81 to the TI-92.

Brain Hacks: Overclock your amygdala


Brain Hacks: Overclock your amygdala 08/04/2004 06:13 AM
Matt Webb -- whose party trick is uttering gnomic, interesting, mind-bending sentences at the drop of a hat -- has gone public with his new project. He and a brain-scientist pal are co-writing BRAIN HACKS for O'Reilly: a hundred pithy tips for overlocking your amygdala.
To get where it is, the brain has made some fascinating design decisions. The layering of systems has produced a complex environment, with automatic and controlled highly mixed. This development over biological time has introduced constraints. As has the architecture--it takes time for slow signals to make their way from one area to another. And there are computational difficulties too: How much of its capabilities can the brain afford to invoke when a sub-second response is required? The tricks used leave traces. There are holes in our visual field that we continually cover up. There are certain sensory inputs that grab our attention faster and more thoroughly than we'd expect.

You don't need to know all of neuroscience, cognitive psychology and so on to know how your brain works. I'm not a neuroscientist. I write, my undergraduate degree is in physics, I hack in my spare time, and I work in new media. But neuroscience has got to such a level now - with the imaging techniques in the last three or four years - that we can make focused probes into particular functions, and illustrate the traces that these design decisions have left (see where+how they are, and draw that up the stack towards conscious experience) and we can look at them one by one.

HOWTO overclock a Texas Instruments
graphing calculator


HOWTO overclock a Texas Instruments
graphing calculator
04/17/2005 07:20 PM
Cory Doctorow: My dad, a high-school math teacher, loved the Texas Instruments graphing calculators as an instructional tool. Nevermind the early IR hacks that let students beam test-answers back and forth during exams, the important thing was how much you could learn by having ready access to a graphing calculator while doing quadratics and the like.

Of course, those TI calculators were a little on the slow side. The intarweb comes to the rescue: with just a little overclocking know how, you can bring the older machines up to a blazing 12MHz and the top-line beasties all the way up to 20MHz!

Curently, the TI-81, TI-82, TI-83, TI-85, TI-86, TI-89, TI-92,a nd TI-92 Plus can be accelerated. The 81, 85 and 86 can be accelerated to approximately 2-3x their normal speed, about 18 MHz. The TI-82 and TI-83 can also be accelerated to about 1.5-2x normal speed. They only about double their speed to around 12 MHz. The TI-89 and 92 can be accelerated to around 20 MHz!
