True... But what motherboard do you have ? and what ram does it support ? And what ram do you have ?
If you don't know... It might be hard to help you
You should be able to play most games exept for the newest maybe..
You can play hl2, ut 2004 and so on

EDIT: be VERY careful when overclocking and I do not recomend it if you're not experienced.
You should get a program called Cpu-z to see what temprature it is on
If it gets more then 80 degrees celsius You may harm your CPU! If it gets to warm it get's destroyed.
I don't know what it is in Fahreinheit but I think it is 200 fahreinheit. I don't overclock my stuff also because you lose your right to get a new one if it gets destroyed.

Yeah, you do have to be careful, but not that careful. Just take it slowly, check for stability, ajust as necessariy. Also, my PC has been up to about 80 degrees before (I knew F.E.A.R on full settings was a bad idea!), and it didnt seem too bad. And you dont need Cpu-z thing. You can check temperatures for just about everything through BIOS, and even set a temperature for the PC to forcibly re-boot at to stop overheating (mines at 85 degrees).

True, you do viod the warrantly, but if the PC is old, the warranty will have run out anyway (mine ran out back in 2003!). Also think about this - you can get more life out of your PC for free. Eventually, the older PC's wont be able to cope with modern stuff, and will need components replacing. But rather than buy somthing new straight away, overclock what you have allready got. If it dies on you, well, its no real loss (and no, you wont be able to sell the old stuff for any real money!), as you were going to need a new PC sooner or later anyway. But if it doesent die, you can get a few extra GHz out of it, and a bit more performance and life.
