Clearly it is a system not designed to handle latest games, but once in a while I like to indulge and so this time I tried playing Fallout 4... Even at all the lowest resolution and settings I was only able to squeeze about 16 frames per second (FPS) --- I rather watch paint dry. Overclocking the rig front side bus (FSB) 35% from 100MHz to 135MHz, that is CPU from 2600MHz to 3150MHz and DDR3 memory from 1333MHz to 1799MhZ (the F1A75-V PRO motherboard is fantastic for overclockability, just ensure to run the latest BIOS which allowed me to push it this far) things improved by 8 frames to 24FPS. Better but that's when there isn't anything existing happening on the screen so still unplayable. Changing resolut
