Depending on the driver version, "coolbits" reg hack may already be set
up. Poke arond in you advanced Geforce props. Besides "coolbits"
RivaTuner has always been a favorite.
Since I still run an Athlon 800MHz/4X AGP with the G4 ti4800, I don't
bother anymore - the low end CPUs, say to about 1.5GHz or so, and older
4X AGP mobos just can't feed enough data to and from the card to make a
noticeable improvement in performance by overclocking the card. A few
fps boost in benchmarks is meaningless.
If you truly need a gaming speed boost: 1. new card, or better: 2. more
and faster SDRAM, faster CPU, 4. faster mobo. For less than a new top
of the line vid card, you can upgrade CPU/mobo/memory and get a massive
speed boost in all apps, not just games.
