Better check if its really the CPU that is holding back the game. Could be that your other programs may be taking up CPU processing power. What is the CPU utilisation on idle? Also, try running task manager in the background while playing and then alt-tab out and have a look at the CPU utilisation history graph-if the graph is full all the time then the CPU is definitely the bottleneck.

Btw, may I know its your P4 a Northwood or Prescott? Because both these chips overclock differently. Also is it a 533fsb or 800fsb chip? I'm guessing its probably a socket 478 chip rather than 775 because not many 775 boards support AGP & DDR. I'm rebuilding my old 478 rig at the moment-setting up a PC to support legacy applications running win98. Before it took it apart and rebuilt it was one of the killer 478 overclock rigs, trying to break my old performance record-this time with better memory and watercooling.

Added on June 8, 2007, 7:23 amAlso, I am using an Asus motherboard, which was top of the line back in 2005. I'm not so much a computer savvy now but I used to be, since the GeForce Ti 4200s,  were released.

I am totally one or two generations behind time as far as computer tech is concerned because I kinda lost interest. But now i'm back and ready to enjoy gaming like I used to before.

Oh by the way, are there any PC shops in PJ that will do this sorta thing for me? I would gladly appreciate all your feedbacks, so please help a brother out.

I'm guessing you're using one of the P4P800/P4C800 series boards? That would make things easier. I've never heard of PC shops in Malaysia that do overclocking though-if there are any I would like to visit, should be interesting. Usual shops will never bother because its too much effort to do stable overclocking, if its not stable they will have to deal with a lot of complaints.
