Hi,
I've a Dell computer and I've never overclocked anything in my life. Looking in the system BIOS there doesn't seem to be anything I can change because I guess Dell's motherboards have fixed settings (like Intel mobos), but I was still wondering if it might be possible to overclock my graphics card or something else that could give me a performance boost, which in turn give me better FPS in Counter-Strike? My graphics card is a G-Force 3 Ti200 and was also manufactured by Dell like everything else that came with the computer.

True.
You'd have to open it up to identify the mobo first then go to the manufacturers website. It can be done in some cases but I never mentioned it because it is certainly on the tech side.
I think you can flash the bios to unlock the appropriate menus. No idea where to get the bios's though.
Thanks Biggles, ill check them links out tomorrow as it's getting late for me now. If anyone else has any tips for overclocking a Dell PC then plz post. Thanks.
Well it is a Dell so you are not going to be able to use BIOS overclocking methods like most people. Hence you need to use software tools.

Oh, and the OS is WinXP Home Edition.
