The only thing I overclock is my video card, by unlocking the 4 hidden pipelines and the shaders. All Geforce 6800s come with 12 pipelines, but if you are lucky enough you can unlock 4 more pipelines (making a total of 16) without receiving artifacts. I'm one of the lucky ones... it helps quite noticeably.

Also, to elaborate on what I said about CPU usage, here is a screenshot below to prove my statement. The only reason you see your CPU usage at 10% while playing Renegade is because it instantly goes down as soon as you minimize the game. If you boot it up in windowed mode, you can bring up the task manager and see your actual CPU usage. Make sure you're in a game though or else it just idles.
