Ok... in your mobo's bios usually you can change mem timings... like cas and idle timings... You have a Front side bus that makes up your speeds... with multipliers and the like... wouldn't it be nifty if you vid card had a somewhat similar bios (granted you'd need those features). But... what if you could oc your vid card by taking the same steps you take when oc'ing your processor and ram?

That would be sweet....software voltage adjustments maybe? Thats what I'd be lookin' for...

Granted that would be pretty dang cool, but personally I preffer using a windows based software to do this. (I hate playing around with my BIOS)

It's avalible on several Aopen vid cards already out on the market. Unfortunately their MX-400 isn't one of them (the card I have), DOH! It's kinda weird that you have to set your vid bios before your MB bios though. I always though it'd be the other way around.
