hey i have a daul core 2.1 ghz processor and a 7900gs graphic card. I just installed the cracked version of bio shock and to my disappointment it didn't run very well ! i have it maxed out and 1440x900 and its aight but lags decently! I was wondering if i over clocked my cpu to like 2.5ish would it make a difference in game play? I have a 22inch monitor wide. any tips on what resolution it would run the best and what i can do to maximize my computer performance !

my computer specs

BIOSTAR TFORCE TF520-A2 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 520 MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

XCLIO GOODPOWER 500W ATX 500W Power Supply

G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL5D-2GBNQ - Retail

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ Brisbane 2.1GHz Socket AM2 Processor Model ADO4000DDBOX

and a 7900 gs Nvdia bought it off craigs list !KEEP in mind i just bought this a week ago
 
7900 gs + 22 inch monitor + bioshock

are you trying to run them in high setting
 
i want to but my screen is 1650x1500 i would just like to get it maxed out on widescreen settings
 
get a better heatsink and fan for your card, and overclock that. Use Coolbits, its easy.
 
Not going to happen with a 7900GS. For perspective, I'm running the game maxxed at 1280/960, on an overclocked X1900XT.
 
how much do u think it would cost ? and if i didnt get a better heat sink(i can get a fan) and overclocked it what risks would i be looking at
