Okay I wanna OC my computer in some way, as it's pretty slow, and as my CPU can't be OC'd (Dell ftl) I'm going to try my GPU.
First things first;
1) Will I notice a difference? (2.4Ghz P4 SC, 2GB DDR, 7600GT(Obviously))
2) How long does it take?
3) What program should I use?

Takes 5 seconds.
Use nTune and nvTray.

Maybe 10-30 FPS. Depending on how much you OC. So yeah, you will.

No. nTune is the worst piece of shit that nVidia has ever spit out of their dhiarrea-moist asshole.

I quote myself from a thread earlier today:

Download RivaTuner and install it. Run it, and click the arrow on the right side of "ForceWare detected". Click the picture of a video card. Now you should see two sliders, a tick box saying "Enable driver-level hardware overclocking", and a grey selection box. Tick the box, and select "performance 3D" in the selection box.

Now, just move the sliders 10-20MHz at a time, and run some 3D application to test every 40-50MHz. The memory usually won't clock as much as the core, keep that in mind.

When you've got speeds that you're happy with, tick the "Apply overclocking at Windows startup" box, and you're pretty much set.

It's aimed at the 6600, but it's basically the same thing. And as Zimmer said, you will notice some performance increase, depending on the OC. Me and my 7600GS gained about 400 points in 3DMark06 from a 150MHz clock. From 450 to 600, core.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

10-30 fps? Awesome. I'll keep you updated like the other post..

Yeah I read that one but wanted to know if it was worth it.

depends what games you play. Current games you will be lucky to see 2-5fps. Older bf2 era games 10-15. I know because I had one as well.
