Hello, I have a question about my gaming setup. When playing games, both GPU and CPU usage stay at 100% all the time. Recently, I upgraded my RAM from 2GB to 8GB. Is this a bottleneck? Should I consider overclocking either the GPU or CPU? Please help me.

MY specs are
Windows 7 64 bit
Transcend DDR3 8GB 133Mhz RAM
Nvidia GeForce 210 graphics card
Intel Pentium G2020 2.9 GHz Processor
Intel DH61BF motherboard

Intel processors with the "K" series are the only ones that allow overclocking. The "K" series offers official overclocking features. You cannot overclock the g2020 as its multiplier is fixed.

The Paladin:
With Intel processors, only "K" series chips are allowed for overclocking. Only these have official support.
No, you can't overclock the g2020—it has a locked multiplier.
I found this out.
No worries, I'm planning to build an entirely new PC so my current one is outdated and I can use the latest tech.
Thanks.
