ok, i have the MSI K7N2G-L mobo, it's worked wonders for my oc. i can not afford any upgrade, and am looking to get more out of the onboard GPU. Currently it runs at 200mhz core. How should i go about this? i need to download some utility? how delicate are these chips? i know i can push the crap out of my xp2400 and it won't melt unless i increase voltage too far, but how touchy are these GPUs?

also, the memory (system memory) is at 350mhz. with and add-on card i can get 400mhz easy, but with the onboard GPU i can't go too far. at 380 i can still boot in windows but i get locks on most games. will oc'ing the GPU help the memory speed i can have?

It won't help the memory speed, but it will still help.

First, I'd get a fan on the heatsink, then I'd download powerstrip or rivatuner and use that. I'm not sure if they are locked or not, but it's worth a try.
 
You are running Dual chanel right? Without it I think you are going to be in rough shape for any gaming. And like Sandman said, I would invest in a fan for that chipset. Maybe a better HSF on it would make a difference too.
