Pentium 3s

What is the result when overclocking intel pentium Dual-core?

I overlocked a 2.5 ghz by configuing the BIOS Overlocking profile in the Jumper free Configuration to overlock to 30%. When Windows XP booted I went to the System Properties and it says about the processor: "Intel Pentium Dual-Core @2.5 Ghz" and under it "3.25 Ghz" Does this mean that only one core is being overlocked?

1. the result is your inputting more voltage and you could kaput the mother board
2. *smack*..... BAD -____- using pre-set OC's are horrible.... you can find TONNS of 'how to's' all over the internet, as for 'the result' it all depend on WHAT PROCESSOR you have..... for example I have a intel I7 920 and I can easily overclock it to 4+ ghz..., I also had a Intel E6500 witch I was able to get around 3ghz without to much difficulty.... My advice to you is to check out computer forums, Intel Pent dual core overclocks..... ect...... Overclocking with a 'Overclocking Profile' is a bunch of bull IMO.... If you could give me the proc's name, your mobo name, and what your running for a heatsync I might be able to advise you better.... but nothing beats learning how to do it yourself.
3. It will not fry your motherboard... if you know what you are doing. Gotta love cynics. To the point, yes it is for "both" cores.. if you will.. It does not overclock "per core" it overclocks the cpu speed which is the blck or multiplier. Many cpu's can afford small overclocks with a small change in voltage. But with your overclock to 3.25ghz, both cores are running at that speed - well - sending/receiving info at that speed. The cores themselves rely on FSB or QPI, which also can be increased.
