The 3200 runs at 2.1 GHz? I thought it was at 2.0 or 1.8.... and yep... right there on newegg's front page is the AMD 64 3200+ at 2.0GHz... so if you are 2.1 you are already technically overclocking the processor.

But as others have suggested... the search function and the sticky at the top of this forum are your friends.

When you say PCI on your video card do you really mean PCI, or do you mean PCI-E, they are two fairly different things... i am mostly confused because i didnt think that anyone made a PCI-E FX5200 so why would you be running PCI unless you ran out of cash (perfectly valid answer by the way... my last machine was built from the ground up to OC... spent extra cash on the RAM and Mobo to ensure it.. but skimped on the graphics card and hard drive space [not real smart for me])

But ultimately... read the OCing guide.

Are you after more game performance or general performance? If game performance, you're better leaving the CPU for now and just saving up for a better graphics card...
