i got athlon ii x4 640 cpu,2 dimms ddr2 memory,and 3 fans(80 mm,and 120).
Will i be able to overlock my GPU lets say +1.5 GHZ for memory and +100 Mhz engine(like the MSI).?

Answer #1
ofc you can do those but i wouldnt recommend it to do for 2 reasons.
1- gpu is really very good factory overclocked.
2- even at far better overclocking numbers by maximizing power target and voltage , compared to what you ask , there is not a considerable performance improvement so it is not worth to risk it.
