Overclocking my pc
0
hi
i was wondering if i should overclock my pc and would it help that much?
i have a
amd anthlon(tm) 64 processor 3200+
2.00GHZ, 2.00gb ram
my graphic card is a asus eax1600 pro its a radeon x1600 pro
i tryed playing tom clancy rainbow six and it was all laggy :(

from your spec,i suspect that the prob lies in vga.maybe it's not powerful enough....you can overclock it by using some software called....gpuz or something.not sure.
you should overclock the processor.
increase the multiplier.but that depeds on your motherboards' ability to do it.
if you own a good mb(abit,msi,gigabyte,some asus,dfi,biostar),it should have a great selection of oc menu in its bios.
if all of the aforementioned thing fails,try to lower the graph quality of the game.

You should be able to get at least a 20% overclock with that, I had the same processor and I was able to run it stable around 2.6 ghz after a buttload of tweaking, 2.4 should easily be done with very little. I refer to http://math.gogar.com/athlon64.cgi after I figure out my maximum values for each. To find those follow my steps:
FSB: lower your multi to it's lowest, lower your memory to it's lowest, lower your HT from 5x to 4x and keep raising until your comp won't load windows. If you can't recover to your bios after you raise this too high your gonna have to reset it manually by switching jumpers or taking the battery out and unplugging and letting it sit for a while.
HT: Same as FSB except: keep your HT at 5x, eventually as you raise your FSB it will do the same and not load windows.
RAM: Same as FSB except: put your multi to it's highest, put your ram back to it's rated speed. As you raise your fsb you will increase your ram speed as well. Eventually it will start to act up and not function correctly. Raise the FSB by a value of 10 and then run memtest86+'s test 5 and 6 and see if it passes. You should also have inputted the correct clock values of your ram in the bios before this because the auto feature will tune down the ram. If you find your not satisfied with the ram speed you can raise the voltage a little bit, I wouldn't go past 2.9v unless you want to risk frying the ram.
CPU: Same as FSB except: put the multi at highest and raise by values of 10 and run prime95's torture test. If it completes the first 5 tests or so, it's safe to assume you can push it a little harder. Also, if you find your cpu speed is unsatisfactory, you can increase the voltage and it should stabilize and run better, but it will be a lot hotter, I recommend using speedfan to check your temps and make sure it's not overheating.
As with all overclocking, you hold yourself at risk of shorting out your equipment and I hold no liability in case you do so. I will say though that with this method I have overclocked a very stable computer from 2.2 ghz to 2.75 under air cooling. You could get a water cooler and really have some fun if you wanna go faster.

My settings:
FSB: 275
RAM: 166 @ 2.9v
Multi: 10x
HT: 5x

Also, You should probably not use the exact maximums because it will really wear down your comp and you may find that in a month or 2 that it simply will not work with those settings, so tone it down a little bit. I used to be able to run 2.81 ghz flawlessly up until lately.
