    I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with the Ati Radeon x300 128mb GPU.

    The default core/memory settings are set at 300/216.

    Can somebody suggest to what settings can I safely overclock it? I am using the Ati Tool ver. 0.24.

    I have tried the Find max core and memory feature however, I am skeptical about applying the settings without hearing your advice.

    Any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated.... :)

    I found that when I over clocked mine, it would make the BSOD come up and restart the computer whenever I tried to play any type of 3D game or watch a DVD. So don't do it unless you plan to not do any of those things.

    I went all the way up to 500/500 and it killed the graphics card.
