This tool will allow you to OC the video card's core and memory--
but be careful. You really don't need to push things too hard.
The tool will allow you to find the maximum for your setup easily
then you can save those to a profile-- so you can run normally-- or in game-mode with one click.

Card-- probaby-- try it.
Processor ? some of the older P4's like mine (and yours) cannot be overclocked... locked multipliers.
With ATI tool it looks for the highest settings -- that are safe FOR you.
Crysis-- in particular? no idea.
ATI tool can help you get the most (if you're careful) out of your card.

It sounds so-- but one clue-- take it up slowly.
OC is a matter of moving things in small increments -- take it up a little, let it stablize, take it up a little more- let it stablize... etc.
When you start seeing little, quick flashes on your monitor STOP... and back off just a little. Then leave it alone.
