Afraid voodoo and TNT cards are the oldest I know that overclock or have any performance increasing mods.

well i just got the engine clock from 110 to 140 and ram speed from 125 to 160...but am pushing.i have an intel fan on the card's cpu and if i get overheating i have another fan for the memory modules
i would like to know as well, u are not the only one around, i've just purchase this card few weeks ago for my PIII 550 because this crappy thing doesn't have a AGP slot, infact the whole have only one PCI slot and ISA slot WHICH are sharing with eachother!

I got the card at staples 2 years ago I think.....at the time it was $100 now it's like what $29 $20???? I could not stand the lock up's sometime it would lock up before I could move the mouse....Not good so the card is just siting here...And the Ati is running.

I had one of these... I thought a 32 mb AGP card was a 32 MB AGP card and that there wasn't any difference....
This card runs HOT. Hot like a mofo, only the Voodoo3's top it heat wise. Seems like you've got that down though. The drivers are crappy too - I'd suggest using the Savage4 optimized reference drivers rather than the S3/Diamond drivers....
Personally I'd rather have a cruddy Geforce2MX 200 card than this card, but you make do with what you can. Fact of the matter is it's never going to compare to even a 16 MB GF2MX. You might be lucky to get 3000 with it on 3DMark2000.
