Up the creek with my Socket 939...

OCing your graphics card is pretty safe as long as you keep an eye on your temps. If you set a graphics card too high it will start artifacting. I don't know how well your card will OC, but it's worth a try. My old 6800's were awesome OCers.

Processor OCing depends on the motherboard/bios and most prebuilt systems don't allow OCing.

The Asus motherboard(ASUS A8AE-LE) won't permit OCing?

Wait, so it is an HP with an Asus motherboard? I don't know, maybe.

Well, the easy way to find out is to go into the BIOS during startup. If you can find OC options, you can OC. If it isn't a very good board the options may be severely limited or nonexistent. If you can check and tell us what settings you find we can help you from there,

Here's a thread with a bunch of peeps discussing your board. I'm afraid it doesn't look good for OCing

Well, you may be able to use clockgen. I was always kind of scared of that, though. I tried it on my old P4 that had a limited BIOS with no luck. All of my current systems have full BIOSes so I haven't tried it since.

Well, that pretty much tells me that I'm better off leaving OCing alone on this rig; the concept of OCing makes me nervous, anyway, the more I think about it.
