couple of questions
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowI...0GT 128MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card - Retail
1) for the power cord, which part of the cord connects to the video card? Im assuming its the adapter on the bottom, and one of the adapters in the top connects to the female adapter coming from the power source.
2) also for cooling fans, do all cases accept any size or does each fan only fit a spefic case?
im looking at getting this for a fan:

it looks nice, and its a 120mm.
3) also my fsb right now runs at 266mhz, i wanna oc' the fsb to 333mhz, i just bought a 1gb stick that runs at 333mhz, and my other gig stick runs at 333mhz. The fsb is only 266mhz, is there anything i need to upgrade to run the ram at 333mhz, or should i be fine as it is w/ a stock cooling system. I know you can use heat speaders and ram sinks, do i need both of them or just one of them when oc'ing ram. I got 2 gigs not sure what brand they are.
4)one last question, when it comes to oc'ing the cpu 200 - 300 or more mhz, what exactly is needed? Im guessing a larger/faster cooling fan for the cpu and a better power supply. I have an athlon xp 2400+, ive seen some people run these at 2.23 mhz and with no stability issues.
my mother board is a compaq, i think the name is ch73, the computer was bought in december of 2002, i know theres an update for the bios that was released in june of 2003, is it worth updating the bios for better system stability or should I just leave the bios as is.
thanks for the help. Im not gonna be doing the oc'ing but i want to buy the necessary upgrades so that when my friend oc's my comp it doesnt take a shit on me.
Also i had no idea where to put this since it asks 4 different questions.
