this has a nice (not sure about performance) HSF and ramsinks, just wondered what sort of oc I should be looking at minimum.

currently running at stock but was stable at 270/540

3dmark score at default with 41.03 is 8800 (will add link when I can access madonion)

any views please

cos this p4 is a willamette my fsb is 100

I guess this will stop me getting 10k, but still pleased :) (especially as the pc cost me nothing except for the card)

I have the same card with 4NS Hynix memory. It does 300/600 at stock voltage. I added ram sinks and an old Celeron HSF. With a 1.7GHz athlon(8.5x200) with synchronous 400MHz FSB and PC3200 CAS2 RAM, I get 12,017 3DMarks. Good card in my opinion!

hmmm, mine wont go anywhere near that, 270/560 is the max

I run at default anyway except for benching. I am a bit displeased with its performance in CS, the smoke grenades look blocky as hell and I get some other wierd happenings, tried 4 sets of drivers so far. UT2k3 runs sweet though :)

I will keep trying :(
