Overclocking CPUs and Micros
For as long as we can remember, CPUs in PCs have been subjected to overclocking experiments, sometimes with catastrophic results. Whenever a
new CPU appears on the market, it does not take speed tweakers long to make things run faster. What’s rarely seen however is information on
overclocking of laptop PCs. In our January issue we venture to cover the subject in some detail with a Centrino-based laptop as the guinea pig.

Nixie Clock in Sputnik Design
Entirely fitting a January issue we have several articles on clocks and clocking
systems. One of the pinnacles, we’re sure, is our Sputnik Clock which uses nixie
tubes for the time readout. The clock is designed to look like a miniature version
of the first man-made satellite to make it into an orbit around the earth.

In the January 2007 issue we launch EXPLORER-16, a 16-bit PIC microcontroller project brought to you
jointly by Microchip, Labcenter and Elektor Electronics magazine. The project is based on a number of hardware
and software components, exclusively gathered for Elektor readers. The first instalment of the series
covers the installation and practical use of two Microchip software contributions to the free CD-ROM: the
MPLAB development suite for PIC micros and — buckle up — the C30 Compiler! Space allowing we will also
introduce you to the workings of Proteus VSM, Labcenter’s software that’s so powerful it can simulate the interaction
between a microcontroller and any analogue or digital hardware connected to it!
RESERVE YOUR COPY NOW! The January 2007 issue goes on sale on Thursday 21 December 2006 (UK distribution only).
UK mainland subscribers will receive the magazine between 18 and 20 December 2006. Article titles and magazine contents subject to change, please check www.elektor.com.
