Really??
Friend of mine thought the same, set his card to stupid values almost
identical to these, played doom 3 for a few hours. Rebooted, vertical lines
in bios. Windows xp loading screen strange colours, desktop un readable.
Games out of the question.
Turned out, he fryed the memory. Now has a 6800 ultra as a doorstop. This
has also happened to a variety of people if u read various nvidia forums.
I use conservative oc on my asus 6800GE 430/1.2. I know it will go quite a
bit higher but I know at the speeds its set to it's unlikely to do any long
term damage.
