Yeah those clock speeds are fine, i have a 6600gt and i oced the core to 600MHz and the mem to 1190MHz( all of this done with a copper heatsink that came with my BFG)
I did get the core up to 615 but there were artifacts so i pushed it back

Overclocking is the process of forcing a computer component to run at a higher clock rate than designed or designated by the manufacturer to improve performance

Mem to 1900? Gimme proof, cuz that's at GTX512 speeds.

All computers (and their components) run off a clock. Thus, you can boost that clock speed up above what the factory settings are, and make it run faster! People do this with their procesors, video cards, mouse, keyboard, graphing calculator, and even cell phone ( Exclamation ) No, seriously. You can overclock pretty much anything, lol...

Let's just take my case. I have a ATI RADEON x300 gfx card. Pretty nice card. But, it is stock (came from HP). My family doesn't really have the money to upgrade atm, and if I told my mom that i wanted a better card for gaming, she'd sh*t. :haha: Now, instead of going out and buying a whole new card, i just take the one i have and OC it from 324 core & 195 mem to 330 core and 240 mem. That memory boost SIGNIFICANTLY helps my fps in games like HL2, and even that new game somone mentioned, Crashday. (cool game, btw.)

Anyway, hope that helped.  Smile

This should give you a better idea of how to overclock if you want to.

I am overclocking my ati 9550 agp4x from 250core/180memory to  284core/227memory. I am using ati tools. I used the automatic error detector and then lowering it a little for safety. Any advice on future overclocking, o whether ati tools is a good program to use, or if i am out of my league and get more experience before trying to overclock.

1900 = 1.9 - which is quite impossible with that video card
