Can someone explain how to o/c a graphic card?
Take a GeForce for example, any of them, or anything esle, can you explain to me what does the memory mHz mean? I am not familar with it, and how would u o/c? Are there jumpers to set? Does it have a clock mulitplier and a bus speed?

Video cards are overclocked with software such as NvMax for the Geforce cards. Overclocking tweaks can be found at http://www.tweakfiles.com for all popular graphic card chipsets.
The Mhz with respect to the graphic card memory refers to the speed at which it operates (higher = faster = hotter ), the memory is what you overclock along with the GPU (graphic processing unit)

so there is a seperate o/c? I thought it was just based on the FSB. What are the side effects?

A successful overclock will have no 'side effects", but if your overclock is too high, you will see lines and marks in the display, especially in 3d games. Back it off until the marks and lines disappear and there's your overclock.

You can adjust your core (which is the CPU on the video card) and the memory of the card. Overclocking the memory has the most benefits for framerates... pay most of your attention there.

You can download NVmax (either version) here (http://speshalk.dyndns.org:1812/programs/).
