new to overclocking

[DarkJimmy]

I'm quite experienced in computers and hardware, but have never tried overclocking. Where should I start?
My system is:
Asus M2NE-SLI
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+
2GB RAM 800Mhz
Nvidia Geforce 8600 GTS
250GB samsung HDD

cooled with a Swiftech H20 220 Apex Ultra including chipset and GPU blocks.

I was thinking of a mild overclock.

In the future, make special effort to ensure that proper names are capitilized.

He is by far not the most difficult person to understand I think you should lay off. Some people on here post as if they are doing it from a cell phone and are completely unintelligible.

That said do a search for overclocking, there are many good posts and an overclocking guide. Look around to learn about the basics and post to get help with more specific issues.

Umm, perhaps capitalized?
And I'm not sure why you are having an issue with the OP's grandmother?
