I'm just getting in to 'clocking' my system a little bit, I'm aiming to get a good performance increase but without lossing any stability or reliability. My system runs WinXP and the only time I reboot it is when one of the virus or windows updates say they require it.
Based on the system spec below what do people think of these scores. At the moment I'm only overclocking the graphics card to the technicall spec of its components. Thats 500/200. I added some extra cooling just to be sure, 'better safe than sorry'. (Thermaltake Crystal Orb, Thermaltake Memory Heatsink & Heat Spreader Kit).
Here's the results.

As you can see I use the techno-garb drivers and would highly recommend them. With just the driver change I managed to push it up just over 100 points.
My question, finally, is how much do people think i can easly push the MB and memory to improve the performance of the system without 'really pushing' it.
