The Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2160 processor is rated with a clock speed of 1.6 GHz. The E2160 is a member of the Intel Core processor architecture and is essentially a scaled-down version of the Core 2 Duo CPU that features a slower bus, slower clock frequency speed and lower amounts of cache memory than a Core 2 Duo processor. This makes the E2160 slower than a Core 2 Duo, but also more affordable. The clock speed of a E2160 depends on the operating frequency of the Front Side Bus (FSB) on the motherboard. You can overclock the E2160 by increasing the FSB frequency.
Instructions
1. Power on or restart the computer.
2. Press the required hotkey to enter the BIOS setup. Common keys are "F2" and "Del"; your system should tell you at least briefly upon first boot which key to press.
3. Navigate to the motherboard frequency settings with the arrow keys. This is usually located under the "Frequency/Voltage Control" or similar category. Your motherboard may not support this feature.
4. Increase the frequency of the FSB. The default setting is 800 MHz.
5. Press the "F10" key to save the settings and exit.
