Ape you try it first if you've successfully overclocked your card at least 20% more without killing your card within 2 days. Then I'll do it I tried to do a voltage mod on my Geforce2 MX400 but failed.

Actually I've got the R9600P, and I've had the volt mod for that since about a month after getting the card. I don't run OC'd except for benhcmaring new rivers and games for other people's edification, so it's one of those things where it's not worth the risk until the RV380/381 or R420/423 are on the market. When there's something to replace it with, then I'd do it (this is mainly for people who run OC'd 24/7 [may include a whole new group of HALO players ]). I only push the limits when benching, and that's maybe once a month. Usually my card runs 456/318.

I have seen some people get the R9600P to 600+/380+ so ther is a bit of potential for me there.

For now, I prefer leaving my multi-meter attached to my pure-energy AAAs .

I guess i'll just keep my 9800pro running at 450/750. It doesn't seem to lag in any games so i'm happy. Halo's not THAT demanding, a friend of mine with Geforce4 MX440(overclocked like a b*tch) could run it at 1000/700 no problem.

sorry that's the resolution. I don't remember the exact number so it's somewhere around there.
