overclocking success with gpu

against the "better judgement" of my tech teacher in college, i decided to try playing F.E.A.R. on my 4 year old celeron rig. pretty much the only thing that wasn't stock was the graphics card (nvidia 6200 256 mb pci). well it took a while but i went from barely playing it on minimum settings (unoverclocked) to a medium/high mix with a good 30-40 fps on average with a max of 80 during the performance tests (overclocked) and with room to spare,heheh

rig name: ancient pwnage

2.4 ghz celeron
768 mb DDR SDRAM

current framerate records and high scores:
