All right, so I need to overclock my old machine more than I can with nTune.
the question is, "HOW DO I DO IT?"
Thanks in advance

Specs

Mobo: Asus M2N32 SLI Deluxe Wireless ed. nForce 590 SLI (SPP 190)
Processor: AMD 64 x2 5200+ (windsor) @ 13x200.9 = 2.6 ghz base
RAM : 2gb, corsair, w/ 373.2 Mhz (no idea why, just what cpu-z says)
Vcard: BFG Tech Geforce 7950 GT SLI (just one though) on PCI-E
Cooling : Nvidia Zalman Turbine (for the CPU)
Case: Raidmax Sagitta, w/ 450 watt PSU
WINDOWS XP HOME SP2, with some minor modifications (registry, appearance)

Again, eternal gratitude and karma to good aswers.

BIOS or AI Booster for the CPU.
RivaTuner for the GPU.
Test for stability using ATITool.
Check performance using 3DMark06.

Not so old, i got same specs with a 3800+ x2 ... Anyway so if you want to boost ur system you will have to play in the BIOS... Ajusting clock speed, mutliplier ( probably going to stay cuz amd can't go up ) RAm speed, voltage and many settings...

haffey's software are good too, but if you want to get into deep settings modification i would say BIOS offer much more possibilities

Ooh, I didn't even think about RAM. Yeah, keep in mind that when you increase your FSB you increase memory speeds as well. Oh, and remember to run Orthos to check for stability after OC'ing the CPU.

RivaTuner is really all you need to OC your video card. BIOS editing is old and now just plain dumb when you can edit the same stuff in RT.

Edit: Oh, and what power supply do you have? Make sure you have a reliable one before you increase voltages and stuff.
