    Yeah its pretty stupid to overclock for a single game. It already looks pretty, but i want more pretty. I boosted my Amd 3000+ from 2.0 to about 2.2 using the bios utility. When i use the utility to try to get anymore out of the sucker, this happy little female voice tells me ive reached a total system failure. Im thinking my voltage might be a problem... anyone know a SIMPLE walkthrough so i dont screw anything up to badly?

    A8N-E Deluxe
    9600xt
    1Gig Ram
    AMD 3000+

    Have you read the overclockers guide ? Your 9600xt is whats holding you back not your CPU or ram...

    As Ace said, your video card is your problem.

    the 9600xt is a good card, and can handle probably 95% of the games out there with ease. Oblivioun just happens to be one of those 5% of games that is a touch above your card's ability.

    splitt3r You are now the victim of a drive by title change

    i you can afford to you should upgrade to a 7600gt, it is a good mid range card now.

    I'd say more than a touch.

    Im thinking he is confusing a 9600xt with a 9800xt....
