I don't think anyone here is actually gonna help you overclock. The most ppl can do is give you advice on what to do. And before you get flamed by others, you're supposed to read this thread first!

I also need the prices of the AGP graphics card. Any brand, any chipset, minimum 256MB onboard graphics card memory, minimum 256bits. Must be high-end gaming grade GPU. I want an average size one not a double slot one. Your help will be much appreciated.

Sorry but I don't approve this kind of thread.

For basic of overclocking, please refer to the pinned threads. Overclocking Intel is technically more simpler than AMD K8. If you want to ask about pricing, please refer to Price & Dealer guide section.

Only useful and unique threads will deserve existence in this section. We want quality threads instead of many threads pointing at the same issue.
