Hi everyone!
Well, I have never overclocked anything except when I told my friends how fast I went in my 1977 280Z sports car. I wanted to see how fast it went on staight-a-way on highway 104 here in CAL and even though it only went 130 mph, I told my friends 150 mph. [Just don't tell my mom!]
I just finished building my very first computer and it is working nice. I've been reading about this overclocking business and I am not sure if I can overclock my processor with my existing MOBO.
Here is what I put together after waiting over 9 months and reading the various FRY's ads and waiting for their great deals and even free items with rebates.
[I built this entire system for under $350 and no, my shoes do not squeak when I walk, I am just on an incredibly tight budget and don't have any shoes].
It's me, your NANY

ThermaTake CPU Fan TR-2-M21-RX [$19]

PQI DDR RAM 512+512MB=1GB [$69]
