Where can i find a program to overclock my processor?

That's hardware based, Use
http://www.google.com
to find some good sites about how to overclock your processor.

Be warned you can fry the thing very easily if you get carried away

Yes, you can cook a processor easily. Some processors are much better suited than others. Read up on it before trying at home.

Most of the GF cards have the overclocking utility that you can download from NVidia, or it's built into the drivers. My suggestion is that you don't mess with it. Overclocking your GPU isn't like overclocking a CPU. The video card can be alot more unstable than the processor can, and can cause hangs, freezes, or even screw up your card physically. Don't do it unless you are prepared to purchase a new card, because there's a chance you may need to.

My opinion is not to overclock anything if you are not prepared to replace it. Overclocking, IMO, is best suited for extending the life of an otherwise, outdated or borderline piece fo hardware. Our server is running on dual overclocked celerons. We were able to get a 50% increase in performance out of processors that would have been too slow otherwise.

You download files for this kinda thing at http://www.guru3d.com (or it might be http://www.3dguru.com)

But, its painfully obvious you have no idea what you're doing (no offense) so do yourself a favor and do research first. Figure out what you're doing, or you'll be replacing your hardware. And, NO, asking us is not research!!

IMO, the gains you actually see in games by overclocking your vid card are minimal at best...

Increase a little bit . You will maybe crash more and have some bad graphics sometimes.
