I first need to get some of my software problems behind me IE. drivers and what-not.

Anyway once all that is done I would really like to see what my AMD can do. I bought a motherboard so I can overclock my CPU.

I've never tried for longer than one boot up but from what I understand it's pretty straightforward. Most people who are "into" it reformat their harddrive every couple of weeks, so if you have software issues already it might be a good time to just start over, on the other hand, if you're chronically plagued by software issues and can't afford to do frequent reformats then you might not want to get into overclocking.
