hiya April,

welcome to the forums. right then.. must say graphics i've never played with OC'ing but in essense the basics of CPU and GPU oc'ing is the same. The easiest way to overclock if using windows based control panels. Nvidia do one from there site which just has sliders for increasing the speeds. Things to remember increase the CPU FSB slowely.. nothing worse than pushing things far too hard. Just keep going slowing until you start getting post errors ect! and then I assume the same with the GPU.
