i do it simply and use clock gen gives me 15% boost on everything

then why do you have a K8 avatar???

my 3200+ venice is 2.0 with clockgen its 2.786, thats like 30% increase!
people say it hits the big ol 3.0 but i havent added any power to it yet

my 7900gt isnt watercooled yet so im waiting to oc it alot, it came 475 and i got it to 525 no prob, forget what the mem was at...
i dl'ed the newest ver of clockgen and you cant save with it so i researched old ver's and you can save with them so im on the lookout for older ones

I want to know how to overclock too, anyone else using 64 bit Windows?

u mean vista.?

^^ not necessarily, XP has a 64 bit version, but its like double the price and since vista is comming you gotta be way impatient to buy it, especially when you gotta manually look for all new 64 bit drivers, cause many companies wont include them until vista ships with thier pc's

Overclocking is awesome on X2 dual cores, it's so simple and stable

I overclocked until I killed my GF4 MX440.. but that was way back in the day

I want to overclock my AMD 64 3800 X2 proc, but I dunno how far I want to go... Anyone ever overclocked this particular proc? If so, then could you give me the settings I need, and I print them out and set it up, what all do I need to set? There is the front side bus, the clock speed, and the power or sumthin... see I don't know much about this. But, if anyone has safely overclocked this particular one, with stock cooling, let me know, cuz I want to get the most I can, but I use this comp for school, and if I screw it up, I'm gonna be screwed, lol.

Overclocking is quite simple if you have the right setup M/B and Processor. I overclock my FX-55 939 from BIOS. FX series is nice because the multiplier isn't locked

If you really need help, the guys over at XtremePc - Take it to the Max! - Powered by vBulletin are really helpful.

overclocking is easy once you research it. Some of the newer Nforce 4 motherboards and stuff have alot of different settings which can seem confusing. My biggest problem is the divider settings as I ain't good with math.

many ATI grafx cards have overclock feature, and can be setup automatically, for example on the ATI catalyst program you set up enable overclock, and the card itself overclocks until reaching a peak temp, once in that temp it stays there, if it gets any hotter it slows down a bit to cool off.

I set OC on my 9800XT and works great, specially if I have the Artic Cooling fan installed.

slowly start on your bios settings..bump up the fsb...do some stabitlity test..bump it again..if it fails, bump up the volts...something like that

Just like that CaliCal!
