Hello.

I've recently given my old machine to my girlfriend's son.

It's a 3800+ with 1gb of RAM and an 8600GT to replace my broken X800XL.

I've always overclocked it to 2.52ghz from 2.4 as that's all I could ever get it to do with stock cooler.

It runs World of Warcraft great at 1680x1050 but I'd always like more free performance.

Should I be able to get more out of it?

What speeds should I be looking at and how should I get there?

Cheers.
