    If you have less then 1GB of ram overclocking wont help much, if at all. You really need more ram. Though I doubt the system can be overclocked, to tell if it can or cant be I will need more info.

    Tho' I'm no OCer by any means, I can plainly see that you're in need of more RAM. Your CPU doesn't need overclocking (IMO). For a big boost in performance, double or triple your RAM. 1gb these days is the minimum while 2gb has almost become the standard. You say you're gaming, but you're also running the on board integrated video. Adding a video will also DRAMATICALLY improve your gaming results. A good video card can be had for $80-$100, and another 512mb DDR is about $35-$45.... for video card recommendations, post in the hardware forum, and plenty of folks will be happy to help.

    :wine Happy Holidays!

    If the system manufacturer is FUJITSU SIEMENS, this system sounds strongly like a laptop. Your gaming on a laptop? with onboard graphics?
    What kind of games are you playing? surely not 3D stuff.

    Thanks for the three replys, although im not very further with overclocking i decided to buy 512 mb ram and a better video card.

    p.s.: im not having a laptop, just a bit of an old pc and i know that my pc isnt realy good for gaming, but i keep it with the old games like Cs:s

    Excellent! Good idea! Be sure you buy RAM that matches your current memory as close as possible for best performance. I researched your system here: http://www.fujitsu-siemens.co.uk/rl...ort/professionalpc/ESPRIMO/P/EsprimoP5905.htm It looks like you have DDR2-533 memory, and a PCIEx16 video slot. These are good things! With DDR2 being very inexpensive these days, you may want to add 1g or 2gb more RAM. At less than $75 per 1gb, it's a good deal. And the PCIEx16 slot means you can get a great video card.... it depends on your budget, but the sky is the limit with PCI Express video....
