Is it overclockable & is there much performance boost in doing it ???

i am sure that you can overclock it, but since i have never used one, or heard anything about people's overclocking results, then i cant tell you how much of an increase you are going to see...sorry!

I had one. I tried once to overclock it and i got it to 190. I tested it. I saw no improvement at all. I changed back to stock speeds.

 

[HonestJhon]

what were you overclocking? ram or gpu?
and that sucks...no improvement....kinda sad.

Both to 190. I used powerstrip. If you havent bought it yet i advise you to buy a geforce 2 pro instead of a Kyro II

 

[HonestJhon]

yeah, i have the geforce2 pro..it works great...and has great picture quality...
this thing is FAST too..
5ns ram....not the best, but it is fast.
and overclocking gave me some better performance...
cant remember exact speed that i put it to, but i think that it was like 420 ram, and 220 gpu...
it gave me a boost of like 200 3d marks on 3d mark 2001, and that was with stock cooling..no ram sinks!
this thing is sweet..
after i have this system for more than a month, i think i might get some ramsinks, and try to overclock it more...
it could be quite fast.

Friend of mine With An Athlon1.2Gig, Epox 8K7A mobo... used the inbuilt overclocking (came as an option in advanced settings) in XP... put it up to 179Mhz... tried it in 3D mark2001... it went... poorly... too unstable in his... am going 2 try when I get my new Mobo & see
