easy one.

go to http://www.tweakfiles.com and look in their video section. There's a few tweak programs there that will help.

the same programs are in my FTP in my sig.

if your familiar with regedit you can edit the registry to overclock the voodoo3. I have mine at 180mhz with this method.

go to RUN and type regedit hit enter

Expand these folders in this order.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Class
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Class\Display
Ok there will be a at least ONE folder under this with four digit #
mine is 0001
If you ahve had multiple video cards installed on the system there will a 4 digit # for each of them so you will need to find the one for the current card.
Now go to the Default folder listed below
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Class\Display\0001\DEFAULT

Click on Edit and click to enter a new "string value"
name it GrxClock

right click GrxClock and select to modify it

enter the value data(clock speed) and click ok

congrats you have just manually o/ced your videocard.

Just take baby steps until you ahve a stable o/c without jaggies.

Tithulta, there is a little problem : in regedit, there are like 8 4digits folders in display. Which one should I choose !?!?
