What does it niggardly to overclock a video card or a computer?

I own a AMD Athlon 64x2 3800+ with 2GB of PC3200 RAM. I enjoy a Nvidia 7300 GS PCI-E video card.

What does it niggardly to overclock a video card or a computer?

It means that you run the risk of burning out your cpu or video card faster then what it's natural life would be if you leave it alone.



Overclocking have to do with resetting bios settings to win the cpu to run at a faster speed. Not worth it for what you are already running..



You have a nice rapid computer now, don't mess near it...
To run the clock at a faster speed than it was designed to run at = take home it go faster.



The 7300 is a really low-end GPU.
it process putting the settings to the extreme or maxing out the settings
^^ adding on to what's above... It make it hotter if you increase voltages which is generally required. I don't recommend overclocking for anyone inexperienced.
