Thanks | Just to add on to that. Overclocking can really help get more out of what you have/use the full potential of your stuff. Usually it isn't very complicated, and in the end it helps you appreciate what you have just a bit more IMO.

more options and flexibility usually,
though it does become a pain in the ass rebooting so often sometimes, where as from in the OS you can usually just set it, test, etc, but if a lock up does occur, a reboot is required anyways... | |
