Hello this is the first time posting here and i have a question. i just purchased a computer with amd 2500 barton processor and i also comes with a gforce4 mx440 se 128ddr the mother board is SIS746 DDR400 ATX MOTHERBOARD w/USB 2.0 and 8xAGP PORT and question is if i can overclock this computer with the motherboard it has, and is it a good motherboard, and can this particular video card be overclocked also? thanks
Yes you can overclock the 2500 barton, it probably is already unlocked, and same goes with the graphics card, but you need to download a file to be able to change your core and memory frequencies on your card. Download and doubleclick this

Now right click your desktop, click properties, settings, advanced and frequecies and overclock there.
