(i know thats a lot of info but i thought it might be necessary)
Anyhow, i need to know if i can overclock, what other improvements i can make, and just exactly how safe it is. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. While im at it i may aswell tell you about this cool software i got yesterday. Its called Hare and its from daschund. It looks like one of those programs that claims to make your computer 300% faster then infects it with spyware, but its not. I thought it was obviously fake, but curiosity got me to download it. IT ACTUALLY WORKS. i used to have severe mouse lag in far cry, and now it runs fine. Im not trying to advertise this software i just think its amazing.
