OC'ing an ATI card?

Is it very hard to do? I've never done it (or ANY OC'ing on anything for that matter) before, but I want to. I just ordered a new system(waiting for ups to deliver it today or tomorrow) and got just a cheapy vid card for now, til the dx-10 cards come out and I can get a bad ass dx-9 card cheaper.

I found a x1600xt 256mb (128 bit) card and for maybe 6 months just wanna torture it and then replace. (I realize it's a crap card by todays standards, but it allowed me to get a c2d e6400 2gig pc6400 rig!)

Any help or advice would be much appreciated and followed. There is a great knowledge base on this site here, and am glad I found it!!

OK. I get that from ATI's website then? And I want to do each seperately then? -Meaning, crank up gpu speed to a certain point, then start messing with ram speeds on the card, or would I need to do both in equal number of steps?

Also, how do I know what is going to be safe speeds on those, or is it mentioned with/in the download?

TYVM!

OK got it! That doesn't sound too hard at all! I wonder about the fan on the card itself, but maybe I can rig some case fan up to help if it get that bad. It's only gotta last a little while, so this will be fun!!!

Thanks for the help!!!

I definately will!

Now just waitin for newegg shipment. I haven't built a ground up system in 5 or so years so I got the itch!! Should be a good system.
