All hardware geeks know its your videocard that is the main bottleneck in 3d game performance. They also know that in the case of Geforce 2+ cards its the speed of the ram on the card thats the bottleneck, not the core speed. In other words, overclock the core and youre wasting your time, but overclock the memory and you will get a few more fps. To assist in overclocking the video ram many places sell little heatsinks that you stick onto the ram to help cool things down. But a set of 8 of them costs anywhere from 30-50$! 30 bucks for some little lumps of copper that will only help you get 5 more mhz out of your ram? What the hell is with that?

Afrotech is here to save the day, the groovy hairstyle way.

Whats the cheapest and most widely available source of copper? Copper pennies of course! Apparently its the pennies made before 1982 that are 95% copper. The ones made after 1982 are like only 5% copper. So look around in your piggy bank for at least 40 really old pennies.

Once you've got them, clean them. I am a cheap guy and only used soap and water and the acidic properties of disgustingly warm coke to help clean them a bit. Some of them were still pretty dirty and oxidised though. Anyways, what people who are less lazy than me SHOULD do is drop the coins in a cupful of vinegar, and add a lot of salt and baking soda and stirr it around and stuff. I haven't done this since I was a kid but it used to de-oxidise copper better than anything I know of. Also, you should probably get a dremel or some other sort of power sanding device and sand off the designs of the pennies so that you are left with a bunch of smooth copper discs. Again, I was too lazy for that @;).
