there wouldnt be any real point in overclocking that video card since the performance increase would be minimal.

but i would i?{:

If you want to overclock any Geforce card, you'd need to install the Coolbits 2 registry tweak. As Omega said though, that card is too slow to warrant any noticable increase in performance. If you want faster frame rates, I'd invest in a new card.

ok now i got it and it shows max frames to render ahead what is this and what does it do it is on 3 what should i put it on? - core clock freqency is 275mhz right now and memory clock freqency is 332mhz what should i overclock too and is it safe will it overheat??

There are many websites dedicated to teaching people how to overclock graphics cards with coolbits. Just do a google search. If you are just experimenting with overclocking anything for the first time, I would recommend doing some homework.

Max frames to render ahead is just was it says, the card renders frames before they appear on screen. Leave that on default, it's fine.

Moving the slider bars all the way up will most likely fry your card, using the detect optimal frequencies feature is the way to go, since it automatically sets a safe overclock level. Test the changes with the artifact detection tool in ATITool, it works with nVidia cards as well (that feature does anyway).

As far as overheating is concerned, you should be fine with any overclock you achieve with that card. Later and better cards have temperature sensors which you can keep an eye on in the control panel.

i overclocked it put i try to run halo and it says cannont allocate required memory some other application has loaded where halo needs to be
any ideas?

Probably with only 256MB of RAM, your system doesn't meet the requirements to run the game.
