Overclocking is pretty simple. You just go into the BIOS. You will have to do something for the heatsinks though. It will likely get a little hot if you don't get a bigger heatsink and/or fans at the least. As far as RAM, ZPB is right. You will likely need to upgrade it because alot of computers still have 184 pin RAM and alot of the new motherboards are using 240 pin. I discovered this a few months ago when I built mine. Personally, I like AMD's. I have a AMD Athlong X2 4200+, probably gonna be the 6000+ soon. I'm pretty happy with it. I would go with 2 gigs of RAM or so. I have 1 gig right now, and my Alienware Dock says I'm using half that or so, and I don't have a bunch of programs or anything on my computer that I use.
