go to www.fileshack.com , get demo's of lots and lots of games, buy the ones you like. go to www.limewire.com and download all the music you want, buy the CD's you like. And last but not least, go become an active member in forums everywhere, get an AOL and Yahoo SN, and otherwise, have a good time. Happy Gaming!

ATItool for OCing that video card, make sure to read the wiki BEFORE hitting "find max core", and then OC your CPU by upping the CPU clock in 5 mhz increments (the 10X multiplier will make the real clock gain 50 mhz). Keep going until you get windows problems (these will be very obvious lol) or the heat makes you worried. Overvolting will increase OC potential, but also bring up heat of various components. I don't see why you'd really need an OC, but...happy gaming!

There is so much information involved in overclocking. Way to much to just go over in one sitting in a forum. We would all just love to help you out, but it would take pages

. My advice is to read some tutorials, or guides etc. you can find a bunch on this site and by searching in google, and they will be much more detailed than what we could write here. Plus wander around the forums, and read the posts, ask questions and the like. Then come back with a post that asks something like, "Why would I want to change the front side bus to memory ratio?" Or anything you don't understand and would like some more clarification on. This is how I've learned everything I know today about overclocking, and I'm still learning

. Goodluck your going to have a lot of fun :rockout:

. Hope to see more posts by you.
