Use brain. Check CPU usage and ram usage and you haven't stated what games are you playing and your settings.

How much you can push your hardware is solely dependant on your skill and how rich you are.

er i know nuts abt overlocking.. and i do really meant nuts.. ha ha.. I trying to play world in conflict.. but when i try to set it to med setting.. it lags.. its still quite smooth when i configure the setting which is smth between low and med.. I juz wan it faster without high risk of burning the chips.. juz wan to overclock abit more but still under the safe zone i suppose?.. but mine is only 380S.. enuff power to supply meh? and my cpu temp is ard 50deg when i see it under BIOS.. and I dun have any cooling items besides those fans tt came along with chips or the casing.. so..

Obviously.

It is enough definitely.

if you don't have enough cooling I would advise against overclocking. try reading up on more of the FAQs. there are literally thousands of FAQs on overclocking that explain very clearly how to overclock and what do you need to overclock.

if got no money to upgrade cooling best not to OC I say.

is my processor not suitable with the graphic card? not suitable as in.. the graphics card cant perform at its peak due to the processor cant crop with it.

No its fine.

I assume your board is AGP. 8 X IIRC , my brother is using the same board

Trust me , I believe with a little skill here and there and some cooling your proc can hit 3.0-3.4 ghz

GFX could hit up to 700 / 1800 with a little vmodding here and there.

if without cooling.. how much can i push the proc till? and juz curious.. is there any software to oc rams..

YMMV. Depends basically.

No. I Strongly advise against software OCing unless your going for WR.

Memset is a good bet though. but its not for noob users.
