Post your system specs (mobo, mem, processor, heatsink, etc, etc) and you will get a specialized guide right here on the forum. :)

Also, do a forum search and you should find a mutitude of help on the subject.

If we get enough of us contributing to it then prehaps it`ll get sticked to the top, as reference material of everyone.

this is just a warning. but you only need to over clock if your processor speeds are not over a Ghz IMO. overclocking can lead to nightmares. but thats just my $.02

if things go well, i will be publishing it at a webiste (probably in 2 parts, its kind of a long read for the average n00b heh)
ill be happy to link it when its up if you want it, i still have to work the kinks out of it (make it readable and not sound like im all over the place heh)
