Firstly, does anyone know any begginers guides to overclocking?

Now, I'll get on with what I want to say. I've installed RivaTuner and have the latest nVidia signed drivers, but when I start up RivaTuner I get the message the drivers haven't been tested with this version of Riva, so should I proceed anyway to use it? Whatever the answser I have gone forth and done a single change. I've gone into "low-level system settings" and
in the 'overclocking' tab I pushed the core clock slider from 175 to 189
MHz. What have I done and will my computer explode? Have I overclocked something? The graphics card perhaps? I've noticed lockups in counter-strike which are more frequent if I push the core clock speed slider past 200MHz.

I NEED desperately a performance boost somewhere. Something that will give me extra FPS. I have a Dell PC with WinXP Home, a G-Force 3 Ti200, 256MB SDRAM, and P4 1.6GHz.

With your graphics onboard ram you'll notice corrupted textures or pink spots if it is pushed to hard.

Ok. Seems quite easy to overclock with RivaTuner. Just two sliders to play with.

You've successfully overclocked your card, and you even know its GPU limits. Don't push it past 200mhz.

Now try the same with the RAM.
