The last time I overclocked my computer was over 20 years ago. It was a Pentium 200 system put together from old parts and overclocked to 266 MHz, the maximum that the motherboard jumpers could do. So please consider my question as coming from a total newbie.
With a modern low-midrange setup, what kind of performance gain could be expected by overclocking the CPU by 10% in terms of game fps, CPU rendering of 3D images, file compression/decompression, etc. etc. At least I'm aware that this is a simplistic question and I expect the results to vary with the type of work and the software used. I just want to have a broad general idea. Thanks in advance for any helpful input.
