does over clock realy make a big difference in games

[rpmcrash]

hi i just sold my chaintech vnf3-250 today. and order parts for the vnf4 . i was playing warcraft on the kids dell dimension 4550 p4 2.53 512 fsb ddr2700 512mb and a old ti 200 from gainward.
and im getting my butt kicked. it seems im allways way behind. with the amd 64 that was not case .maybe i should of waited for the vnf4 to make it to newegg. can this dell board be overclocked and will it make a difference in gamming.🙁

Lower your settings. WC3 doesnt take even close to 1/2 that processor to run. My gf can run it @ 30fps on a p2 400mhz w/ a gf3ti200

Yeah...but barely. My system (not that bad) drops below 30fps in battles...🙁

thanks .
im going to give it a try . i just played doom3 and kicked the card up to 236core
and500mem clock. and was able to play it in performance with no hang ups nice
little card.

i played doom3 first and jacked my card up . lost three games in warcraft . i went down in my standing. now im going to default setting. maybe ocing dosn't
work on all games.

Ocing a GFX card doesn't make you good at games...
