Well.. I wouldnt bother, sounds like you have pretty old hardware. Most of which would not be overclocking ready.

Case: Aspire X-Dreamer Black (mid-tower, aluminum)
Proccesor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+, 2.01 GHz (just overclocked to 2.69Ghz, doesn't affect temperature much)
Screen: 17 inch cmv lcd monitor
speakers: random 10$ speakers
RAM: 2 512MB DDR sticks
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 7600GS
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology C51-MCP51
HDD: 1 160 GB, 1 120 GB (don't know the specs)
DVD: BenQ DQ60 (pretty good and cheap with dual layer burning)

If I waited about a month, I could have saved so much money on that processor. But it was a $400 combo with that motherboard on eBay.

EDIT: I got 10035 on 3DMark but my GPU temp is 68-69, should I leave it or lower the clock frequency?

lol your PCs are like dwarves to mine! But I do have the resources and LOTS of free time to go my own way. And I get payed to do it!

Custom Case (7" x 20" x 20" to fit massive motherboard)
My own motherboard (PC BANDICOOT motherboard, uses two Pentium 4 Proccessors)
two Pentium 4 3GHz (A total 6GHz speed)
Custom Graphics Accelerator (A total 256MB Video Memory)
EIGHT 512MB RAM Chips (4 Gig Memory)
1 Terabyte Custom Hard Disk (I made the chip, but my friend Brain made the disk itself)
2 custom-fitted 20" speakers (Ow! How many times I have worried about hurting my ears...)
2 DVD-R Drives (both designed by Brian, chips by me)
20" Screen (Another friend of mine, Charlie, donated this for my computer. Thanks Charlie!)

It's a bit too bad dual processors don't work like that (you can't ADD THEM BOTH), they're Pentium 4's which means they are inefficient for games and only 32 bit, only 256mb video memory of an unnamed card, seperated RAM, slow hard drive...

Yeah, REALLY great PC you have there.

My god, so mean, so mean...

I know that processor speeds can't be added like that, I fixed it, geez...

Plus, the HD is slow, but it's faster than the Compaq computer my mom just bought, which is to say its not too slow.

I KNOW Pentium 4 Processors are NOT for GAMING (EXCUSE my CAPS, but obviously OTHER PEOPLE DON'T SHY FROM THEM) it is a business computer.

Yeah, I need a different video card. I was broke at the time and had some other junk laying around, so I put mine together from scrap, I have to admit it's junk.

Nothing too bad about seperated RAM, as I see it. I mean, yeah about 20ms of slowdown on each different chip during loading, but that's only 1.6 seconds of extra loading time I am adding on.

What I meant by "Dwarf" is that you guys have tiny PCs. Mine uses an external Hard Disk that is huge, and that the speakers are bigger than the PC itself.

In no way did I mean to affend people saying my PC is faster than anybodies, I just thought it was cool to let people know about my PC.

And by the way, I am not a retard. I have been around PCs all my life.

so how much did your friend brian spend on his lab that has to be COMPLETELY 100% DUST FREE in order to make that hard drive and even if you really did make the hard drive yourself there is no fucking way that it is going to be faster than your standard off the shelf hard drive

p.s. 20ms on RAM is about 10 million times slower than it should be (not exaggerating in the slightest), but that doesn't even matter because there's no such thing as "slowdown during loading" when you're talking about RAM

i mean come on you're not even trying to be believable

Then leave the forum. We don't need members who first of all, can't lie for shit. Second of all, are probably 13 laughing at their computer thinking they're smartasses, and lastly, since when did we become fucking babysitting world, this is gaming world, gtfo nobody needs your shit.

I bet he built that himself.
OUT OF WOOD

By the way, "lufia", you cannot compare a HDD to a Compaq computer. Secondly, if it's a business computer, why oh why do you have 4GB's of RAM and 256mb of video card memory? And heck, since when did motherboards have 8 SLOTS for RAM? Especially ones that support dual processors. Oh wait, you made it yourself. Silly of me. And clearly you're a master of engineering, you put together a graphics card from some junk? Those idiots at NVIDIA spend years developing their cards, and you put it together in a few days? Amazing!
