Ok... heres my entire computer : It's a P4 3.2 (Socket 775), memory of 1024 (2 512 (3200) in dual channel), a Chaintech 6600GT, WD SATA Hard drive (200Go) and a mobo V915P. My video card is already overclocked (core from 500MHz to 550MHz and memory 1000GHz to 1100GHz) and I don't get any artifact BTW. Now I'd like to overclock my cpu but I don't really know how to do it and if I should do it (is it too risky...? is it worth it...?). My cpu temperature is about 60 celcius ; is it to hot already? Let me know what you think!

Matt, I cannot express it more, YOU CANNOT OVERCLOCK THE 3.2 via BIOS!! The P4 Prescott in the 775 platform has a factory lock on the FSB frequency. Only ASUS and ABIT have been able to unlock the feature with a BIOS tweak, but only on the 3.4 and up. Your only option is to installa third party overclock program that does it from within windows. One that I have had much success with is CLOCKGEN available at www.cpuid.com/clockgen. Give this a shot instead. Pay attention to which mobo you have when downloading it. 60 degrees id not terribly hot, but if you plan to OC you will have to lower it.
