    Hi guys!
    I going to get a ASUS A6ja. I Just wondering what would be a safe overclock limit and also in the safe range for the X1600 256mb card by using an omega driver?? :confused: There some following specs:

    • Processor: Intel Core Duo Processor T2400, 1.83GHz
    • RAM: 1GB(512*2) DDR2 533
    • Hard Drive: 2.5" 9.5 mm IDE 100GB HDD with Ultra DMA100 supported
    • Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 256MB dedicated VRAM, up to 512MB Hypermemory (shared)

    Thanks for helping!

    More important is what's your GPU stock core/mem clocks. Ram or CPU has nothing to do when you are oc-ing your graphic.

    Ivan has some great links in his signature. You will have to experiment and see how far you can go.

    Don't overclock if you don't have to. Why do you want to overclock in the first place?
