    Hello, I am getting an M6Bn soon and was wondering about overclocking the video card. I assume you can use Omega drivers with it, so that would mean you can use Radlinker to overclock it.

    Anyway, I read the Tomshardware review and it stated that Asus did not push the card to its potential. Does anyone know how much I could safely overclock the card too without causing over heating?

    thank you.

    I have played around a little with o/c using radlinker but I don't think I have reached the potential yet, I'm still a bit scared that I might fry everything. The defaults on my M6Ne (9700)are 391.5 core and 209.25 memory. I've gone to 400 core and 225 on memory so far. Will run ati tools to see how far I can safely oc... one day.

    The video card is not user replaceable :( Gonna have to wait for PCI-X.
    As for ati tools you can get it here
    http://atitool.ocfaq.com/

    And here is the info on the program from the web site:

    "ATITool is an overclocking utility designed for ATI video cards.
    Design target is to write a light-weight application for the enthusiast - so no questionable registry tweaks. Sorry.

    Main Features
    No limits overclocking.
    Finding maximum core and memory overclock by rendering into a Direct3D window and scanning the output for visual artifacts.
    Artifact scanning mode for non-ATI cards - use together with a 3rd party overclocking utility.
    Loading a predefined clock profile on Application/Windows startup.
    Hotkeys that can be used any time to load clocks from a profile. 3D application detection (Direct3D 8, Direct3D 9, OpenGL) to overclock your video card only when required."
