have an ATI radeon 9800Pro 128mb card, and I have been playing around with ATITools. I have a question for everyone that has a similar setup. What would you consider a conservative setting for the Core speed and the memory speed on this card?? I have not upgraded the cooling to this card and I would like some conservative numbers that will not jeopardize the card and definitely not give any artifacts or system lockups. I know every setup is different but I am asking what numbers you would consider based on your experience. I really just want to set it and not mess with it anymore.

Well, each card has different limits, and they're way different. But you have ATITool so finding them shouldn't be a problem. Just don't forget to lower the frequency ATItool finds a few MHZ, to be safe and eliminate any artifacts.
I have mine at 415/385, for reference.

Abit IS7 @ 275 FSB, OCZ PC4200 RAM @ 550Mhz, P4 2.4 @ 3.3Ghz Vcore @ 1.625, Sapphire Radeon 9800P @ stock, for now.
