    My new rig came with an ATI 9600 128MB controller and I have been playing with overclocking with the Omega drivers. I upped the card to 337 or so from the stock 310.5, and the memory to 222 or so from the stock 195.75 and this increased my 3DMark05 score from about 970 to about 1070. This is great and I don't expect too much more, almost %10 is good. I was just wondering what others with similar setups have safely and successfully done and is there anything else I can do to safely tweak it. I don't want to damage anything but also want to squeeze performance out of this beast, which I LOVE BY THE WAY. I still can't beleive I was able to get it for $700 brand-new(after rebate).

    yeah the omega drivers are available for both nVidia and ATI but it is actually radlinker that allows for the overclocking so you could just get that program if you wanted Omega drivers are just supposed to be more optimized for actual gameplay than benchmarks so you may not see a difference in scores but you probably will when you are gaming.
