What type/make of card do you have? Post up your PC specs up here and we'll see...

Without boring you with the details, that card has a 64bit architecture with slower brand of ram. Be careful o/c it as it is on the PCI bus which can affect other components of your mobo moreso than an AGP card.
Don't expect huge gains by o/c. Sorry

Come on Viche,
"Is that why I always experience lags occasionally?"
That is an oxymoron my friend. I.e. pathetic english, unless intentional :p
As for o/c ing, I would personally not recommend it.

Derek, take it easy. He's only posting a question to get an answer. We all start from scratch...and by posting questions we expand our knowledge and the process therein.
Chill dude. No need to jump on people right? ;)

LOL. My english is not as good as Exx. I am Chinese and struggling to enhance my english skills. I am sorry.
Oh well.
Just out of curiosity, what is an oxymoron? |

Sorry viche,
I just saw the humor in it. Your english is fine, don't worry about it.
Honestly, depending on your g-card, if it is not made to be O/C'd to a degree if at all, I wouldn't do it. Too many people have done it and made things worse rather than better. Just depends on what you have to work with.
What kind of card do you have that you want to do this???
Nevermind, reread the posts. ATI cards (my opinion) are the worst for overclocking, burn up QUICK. Seen it happen twice, not pretty.
