its just make the frequency of the CPU (the ghz) more basically, so from 2.4GHz to 3GHz. you change the FSB frequency and the voltage and get much better performance. i'm no good at definitions, google it.
its done through the bios.

Ok. Thanks man for the help.
no worries, pm me for more info or help with it.
Definitely do some research on overclocking if you've never done it before. You don't want to boost speed (or especially voltage) too much unless you want a dead CPU.
Core i7 920 @ 3.995 GHz, HT off
12 GB OCZ DDR3-1600
GTX 680
2x Intel X25-M 80 GB SSD
Windows 7 Pro x64
ArmA2/OA Settings:
1920x1080 w/ View Distance at ~3600
Video Memory at Default
MSAA Very High, AToC=0, SMAA Ultra
Post Processing at Very Low
All other settings at Very High
Motherboard shouldn't allow you to give it to much voltage to break it, they usually shut your pc down (especially newer ones)
Overclocking should be a last resort after all other settings have been tweaked to get max performance.
Overclocking (especially without much PC experience) can lead to many problems of overheating, instability and possibly hardware failure.
True that newer boards have OC protection but its certainly not good for the CPU to overclock it without proper cooling and knowledge.
Game developers should not make games that required "super computers"

Spoiler:
my friend has a fairly cheap build, Q6600, HD 4670 (used to have E6300) which runs arma 2 nicely and at reasonable settings. If you're asking to run it at super high settings... i wouldn't be surprised..

Hello, been a while since I either have been here on this forum or played Arma II.
The reason is because my old computer (Geforce 9800GT, E6600 2.6Ghz and 2GB RAM) just wasn't enough.
It ran fine singleplayer, but as soon as i played online the FPS flew down to around 20.
I had enough and pretty much threw the game to the ground.
But!
Now I am back, with a new computer, and as it was a long time since I had an eye on how the hardwaremarket looked like I'm not up to date.
The new computer is: i7 930 2.88Ghz, ATI 5870HD and 6 GB RAM with Windows 7 64.
I haven't recieved the parts yet for me to be able to test the game, so I ask you guys here.
Will multiplayer still make me want to **** something up?
Will this system be able to run this game online (coop) without 20FPS at the lowest settings possible?
I've paid around 1500 USD for this computer, so I rather hope so!
Best regards, Borg.
EDIT: If i'm at the wrong topic, please, spank me.

Wow, Borg your new PC is the exact same as mine. i7 930 and a 5870 with 6GB DDR3 RAM. Anyway, as soon as I got my i7 930, i pushed it to its limits and got a stable overclock of 4GHz by raising my vcore only slightly, I reccomend a 3.6 overclock and you'll run ArmA 2 very, very well indeed.
I run ArmA 2 from an SSD, something else thats worthwhile is a RAMDisk, with 6GB RAM you can make a 3GB ramdisk and get great performance from that then you got the other 3GB for ArmA 2 and your system.
