    hi. I'm new to afterdawn, and was wondering if you guys here would help me to find out what would be the best clocking program for processor (AMD athlon 64) and mostly for my graphics card. (nVidia 8600gts)

    thx

    If you mean overclocking, rivatuner and atitool for you gpu, and for your cpu you can OC in bios, or use setfsb.

    Never use software overclocking for a CPU, do that in the BIOS. For the GPU I'd agree, ATITool or Rivatuner.

    one more question.
    I've already clocked my cpu from 2.2ghz to 2.5ghz, so what would be the maximum performance? like 2.7ghz or above?

    Depends on the chip and several other variables, most AMDs will overclock to 2.7-3Ghz, sometimes as high as 3.2 if you have an expensive one.
