I was wondering if I should overclock my Nvidia 6150 Graphics Card.
I was going to use the Nvidia overclocking program. Should I?

Uhhhhhhh.... I forgot

I don't think you can overclock a 6150.

If you use a software overclock it shouldn't matter if it crashes as when the PC reboots it will be back to normal.

Results depend how stable the memory is. Sometimes you can unlock pipelines too like on early 6200s which were realy 6600s! nVidia got wise to it though and in the 6200As the pipes are locked in hardware.

I was thinking about this because FPSC runs very slow when I make a complete level.

The 6150 is probably a basic graphics card built into your motherboard and not designed realy designed for gaming.

If it's in a desktop PC you can get reasonable results by plugging in a faster graphics card in a PCI-E or AGP slot, something like a nVidia 7600GS is a nice midrange choice reasonable price/speed card about £50/$100.

Basically if you overclock your graphics card, and it goes wrong, you're looking for a new motherboard.

When I ordered from Dell I had a choice between Intel Extreme Graphics
or this one. I have an other PC with an Intel Extreme Graphics card. It's very bad.
