    The core can go up to 230Mhz...from the 200Mhz stock
    and in my case... the memory which is 64-bit 143Mhz
    I've bumped it to 179Mhz...
    I'll bump it more IF I notice diference...
    Test Beds:

    Max Payne
    GTA3
    SOF2
    THPS3

    If any updates I'll post it

    I'm using to overclock the PowerStrip 3
    And to Tweak the Riva Tuner

    UPDATE
    --------------------------------------
    The Most you can get from the memory is 190Mhz
    beyond that YOU ACTUALLY GET EXTRA CHOPPY FRAME RATE

    UPDATE 2
    --------------------------------------
    The core can go up to 250Mhz but I don't see ANY diference

    Now you seem to know alot on Computers, anyways, should I keep my GeForce 4 Ti4600 video card when GeForce FX is released or should I buy the GeForce FX card and replace it?

    And can you give me any tips on Over Clocking my card, since I don't want to **** up again (and destroy my comp/video card)

    You're dandy fine with the GeForce Ti4600
    unless you ABSOLUTILY want visual candy
    neverless such revolutionary video card aren't really needed in
    their life span...

    GeForce256 anyone?
    maybe the S3TC in S3 Savage3D?

    Anyway...

    You'll be VERY fine if you back up you're Video card
    with a good CPU P4s and Athlon XPs will be AWESOME

    IF you are absolutily SURE you want to overclocked you're card...
    me note that GeForce type of card, make the biggest
    diference in performance when you bump the MEMORY SPEED
    If you increase only the core you'll only get better 16-bit performance...

    P.S. : If you buy the GeForce FX... can you give me the GF4? :)
    P.P.S.: I know you won't LOL :'(

    Thanks for the advice, I'll keep my card and no as long as I get good framerates (At least 60-90 fps) on Unreal Tournament 2003 I'll be fine.

    P.S. If I knew you enough and knew where you live I would have given you the Geforce 4 card immediatly after I get Geforce FX

    Glad to be of service...

    these experience came from reading ALOT about overclocking..
    benefits AND FAILURES

    and mostly of the times overclocking DOES NOT PAY BENEFITS
    only shortening the life of you're card

    Overclocking anything nowadays is usually a bad idea.. Lots of manufacturers are getting stringent with thier RMA policies, if thier techs think you overclocked a component and that's why it died, they won't replace your part under warranty.
