I run my CPU overclocked at 2.6GHz ever since I got the computer. During summer, it's back to stock settings because summers in Greece can get pretty HOT, and the house isn't properly air conditioned. Frankly, even o/cing the video card doesn't help all that much, I gain about 2-3 FPS and that's it.
You don't mention your processor type; if it's a newer generation Intel (Core2Duo or AMD X2), you might squeeze some extra juice off it.
Kriller2 is spot on about turning off Volumetric Fog during storms, the FPS literally jumps back to playable FPS. Turning off Environmental Effects also helps in those conditions.
