i'm a little confused. how can i tell if my mem can handle it? and rite now, my idle is 38-40. is that high?

i think 60 under load is high, to test if you're processor and memory are okay when overclocked you can get Sandra and use the burn-in tests

Use AIDA32. It is a free program. Look under motherboard properties.

I got a 64MB GeForce 4 MMX....not worth overclocking? just a little? to say mine is overclocked lolol?? also...what is a good program I can use to see my CPU and GPU temps...thanx...also can someone list what is a high temp for the CPU and GPU

BTW...i have no cooling on the GPU...or any case fans...

mine doesn't have a serial number...did i steal it?

don't overclock unless you need to
use motherboard monitor for cpu/motherboard temps
safe temp for cpu anywhere from 35-55 degrees celsius
anything under 50 for gpu, depending on spec

my new card came bundled with a hardware monitor
not sure if you can get other software to check though

You can easily overclock the geforce with the freeware RivaTuner. You can also soft mod your geforce into a Quadro; however, I don&#39;t recommend it.
