Hi, I'd like to learn about overclocking.
So I know I have some pretty decent (but old - computer built March 2005) gaming hardware, but I sense that I haven't even put it to its full potential. For someone who doesn't know the implications of "overclocking" where would one even start to learn? What hardware items can be overclocked? I basically only know that certain pieces can have their settings changed (somewhere?) to make them go faster. Any help is appreciated. Below are some pieces in my computer. I am on Windows XP Professional.
Motherboard:
Asus A8V-E Deluxe
Memory: (just bought another gig, will soon have 2 gig total)
Corsair
TWINX
CMX512-3200C2
XMS 3200 512MB 400 MHz CL2
XMS3202v5.1
0502010-5
Processor:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1.80 GHz
Video Card:
GeForce 6600
PCI Express x16
128 MB
