i was just wondering if i could get more out of my pc cuz it fails compaired to what i have i mean i have a amd 2.2 dual and 3gb ram i was just wondering if u lot had any advice on how to get more out of it/ overclock it
 
The only way to get more out of it would be to overclock it. I'm not sure how amd chips clock. But when you boot up your system, go into the bios, you have to press f2 or whatever key it says to press.
 
Because 2.2 ghz is towards the bottom end of the X2 chips (they go up to 3.2 ghz stock) you might well expect a decent overclock out of it. The motherboard is a big factor in that too. If it is a socket 939, less likely to clock high, generally, newer chips clock higher (though not always).
I can't give you much more specific advise because I don't overclock much, try the specific forum for that, with your chip's model in the thread title.
Also, a decently clocked X2 is plenty for most gaming purposes, 2.2 is a bit low but 2.6 and over will tackle most games at high settings
