I've just recently overclocked my video card, and I've noticed quite a bit of improvement when playing some of the games I typically do. I'm looking to overclock my CPU and my RAM, if possible, until I have enough money to get a new computer. My computer is old, so I don't know if this would be possible, how much of a boost I would get, or how difficult it would be. Could anyone tell me what I'd need to do, or if it'd be possible to overclock my CPU and RAM? Mobo: MSI MS-6389 RAM: 512Mb 168pin PC 133 SDRAM DIMM (don't remember the brand, but I can check if necessary) CPU: x86 Family 6 Model 4 Stepping 2 AuthenticAMD ~1200 Mhz I appreciate any future help, as I'm a newb to overclocking. Also, if anymore information is needed or if anything is unclear, just ask. Thanks, d_jasper99 P.S. If there is any software that would aid me in any aspects of overclocking (Win 2000), I would appreciate it's mention.

EDIT: My 512Mb PC 133 RAM consists of 2 x 256 Mb sticks (same brand).

Sorry for another post, but I just found out more specifically, my AMD Athlon is a Thunderbird.

Brand name computer = no overclock. But you can always try softwares like "clockgen"... TMP-Man Asus P5P800 PAT P4 506 @ 4009Mhz 1.3v Thermaltake CLP0024 w/ 1700RPM 92MM + AS5 2GB OCZ 2-3-2-5 DDR400 120GB/300GB 7200RPM HD Leadtek 7600 AGP 590/1600 VF700 ALCU AS5

Well thats not always true, my Acer is completly overclockable! In fact I have it overclocked 300MHz and it's running cool and stable.
