overclocking ati x200

hello everyone. i was entertaining a thought in my head for quite some time. and you know, i have a pretty dated computer system, and would love to run the latest games.

1.7 gigs, 3 ghz p4, ati x200 256mb shared chip set

so the thought is, will i be able to overclock my integrated solution from ati to run fall out 3? i have a refrigerated cooling system (i have an open case that sits outside my house on my bedroom window sill, in the dry winter cold, so over heating shouldnt be much of a problem. im not the haphazard sort of guy, you know.

anyways, would love to hears some thoughts. im trying to find some kind of overclocking software so i can turn this dream into reality.

 

best thing i could tell you is try ATI tool, though i don't know much about OC integrated solutions, nor GPU's for that matter.

my babies don't overclock that well because they already spit flames out my vents.

 

oy, but it's an integrated card, not a video card. not much of a fan on it or anything. heck, it's barely one inch by one inch in size. do you think i should super clock it anyways?

 

i don't really know if you can even change the clocks on an integrated solution. i assume you can just allocate more memory to it.

however, i think you can force run Fallout 3 in DX 8... i know many steam run games allow for you to force run it in DX 8.

are you running fallout 3 via steam?

 

ahh yes, force running. i used that technique to run left 4 dead, of which i borrowed froma friend's steam account.

hmm, force run, hmm, force.. ad.

dear boy, levenly. i couldnt help but notice that you were a student of george mason university. id like to embrace you, because i too am a student of george mson university! salutations, fellow patriot!

 

maybe one day we will make it to the final four again (though highly unlikely).

 

don't worry, final four wasn't a fluke. im sure well see gmu in all its final four glory again before everything goes to hell.

 

Back on topic, as far as I know, you can't overclock an integrated card. Even if you somehow can, it's not a good idea because those machines aren't designed to handle the extra heat (since integrated GPUs typically aren't meant for you to game with).
