OCing you GPU or CPU wont do you much help. You may have a 2 to 3 frames more in games.

Well you could get a new graphic card like 7800gs or 8800gt (you need a motherboard with pci-e 16x) now, and upgrade rest of your PC later.

7800GT

7800GTX

8800GT

8800GT 512mb

EVEREST. It will tell you all you need about your PC.

You need to have a pci-e to plug it!

Run everest.

Look at your motherboard.

Get cpu-z and look at the mainboard tab. That will tell you for sure.

pci-e is a slot where you plug in your graphic card. Motherboards can have AGP or PCI-E slots, but they are different and cards cant go on both. If you have a AGP write in google something like this newegg graphic agp. I cant help you out more now coz i have to go for few hours. To sleep.

Good luck.
