Video cards are fairly simple to overclock and both companies now include tools to do some minimal overclocking on their GPUs.

Then read some more.

Then some more.

once you understand all the funny language you can start OCing.

Hey nice heatsink bro. Listen I gotta be honest with you, wtf are you doing with that whack ass processor? Go here---> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115029

I've got this one and have o/c'ed to 3.2Ghz. I idle at 18c and load at 30c. It's $189 cheap. Just mow a couple of lawns (BigDog can hook you up with some advice on this) and you're set. Good luck.

good man, and the ocing question there are tools and software that do it for you. like for example remember how you were planning on buying a nvidia card, it comes with a software "ntune" that tunes your pc for the best performance. this includes cpu, memory, graphics card. I really don't know if u need any further ocing than this. This ntune thing really does it quite well in my opinion, i am able to run css, cod4, tf2 all really smoot with my 8800 gts 320mb edition.

I used to be down for AMD but Intel caught up and passed them. When the shoe's on the other foot I'll switch back. I'm easy like that.

An then once you figure out how to OC it and make it stable you will pound your head against your desk the first time you fire up your game and see that it runs worse than it did before.

I know how to do it, I have done it in the past. I use to think it was the end all be all worlds greatest thing. Now I think it is a waste of time. Guess I am getting old.

You probably heard of him by clicking on a fake link, or by actualling hearing him when he was in the top charts around the world or even maybe by his new stuff, like this.

So while I was looking through the video that I linked to I noticed that:
- Rick Astley is one of the most damn good type popular singers.
- He is generous enough to never have copyright on youtube.
- To have never make a gritty remake of his clip to increase his wallet size.

By the way I also noticed that Youtube is picking up a new meme, it goes something like this:

- My phone was confiscated in class today because I was texting during a lecture. I placed it on my teacher's desk, and 10 minutes later I received a phone call, and my ringtone, which is this song, played very loudly and the teacher heard it. She apologized for taking my phone and said I can text whenever I want in class, and if I forget my wallet she will lend me lunch money. Thank you Rick Astley.

Seriously, look up the comments.

By the way, if you are not interested, add a count to that I DON'T GIVE A SHIT Website. Or just get rickroll'd...
