My PC runs fine....but the question is, should I overclock it anyway to 3.0 Would it even matter?

And also (kind of a stupid question but oh well)

Unfortunetly I only got PCI and i want to get a graphics card, i found one but the power supply it requires is 300; Mine is 250 would it do any real harm or should i just get it over with a build me a pc


I'm playing GTA San Andreas and it works fine on low but when i start adding MODS it slows WAYYY down.

There are none SO ENSLAVED,as those who think they are free when they are not...

If it's a Dell, chances are you're not gonna be able to overclock it anyway. Dell deliberately uses a "crippled" BIOS to prevent too much tampering - that cuts down on tech support calls. But if you insist on trying it, you'll have to go the software route. Do a google search for clockgen, softfsb, or cpufsb

Whats your IGP graphics card. Intel Extreme Graphics 2? That's your problem.

Geforce 6200 OC Edition

128bit video memory.

256mb video memory.

70 bucks and this is the best you are going to do with PCI that's worth the price.
