Do you use overclocking on your boxes ? If you do, what parts do you focus on ?

i usually focus on the ram, tweaking it as much as I can, and also on my video cards not so much ive been a lurker at 2 most high traffic over clocking community but haven't signed up just spying on techniques.

I've done with the RAM and display card. But I'm worried about the temprature rise, so I just let them run at normal speed.

I prefer not to overclock, because I prefer paying a bit more money for having a better product than trying to overclock it and reduce its life.

As you may know, overclocking may burn the computer. I'm saying this because of a bad experience. My old computer crashed because of this.

I overclock my processor, my current one is capable of 2.8 up to 3.5 but i have an intel motherboard and they wont let you overclock the processor though. I gave up looking to break that!

I once O'C'd my PII 350 to 392 so i could get speech to text in MS office. It said it required 400, but i got away with it.

I want my system to be stable rather than make it run faster, that's why i dont play in the O/C world. They say it halves the life of your processor and it may burn out in only 5 years lol. By that time, i'm sure it will be in a landfill or africa by then...
