[PinGu^]

Well... im pretty new to overclocking but id like to start.

I have a AMD 3500+, i use my computer mainly for gaming.

Should i overclock it? and what to?

Can anyone recommend anything?

For starters post your full spec. We'll advise from there.

Should i overclock it?

Silly question right there I would overclock my gameboy if i could. We do have a guide on overclock Althon 64s somewhere on the site. Would use that as a starter and then return here with any further questions

AMD 64 3500+ (@ 2.2ghz)

What make and model is the memory? also what core is your CPU? if you dont know download CPUz and it should tell you

from the looks of it the only problem u might run in to is with ur ram. what make, model, speed, and timings is it rated for? the other parts look well capable of some decent clocks. what core is the proccy?

read some of the stickies in the AMD section for a good starters guide

With those specs 2.5 - 2.6 is obtainable with stock cooling. What I did was 1T timing on the ram, 3X Hyper Transport, X11 multiplier, and just steadily upped the fsb.

Personally I like to use a 10x multiplier, but that's just me
