6600 oc

I have got a 6600 (non GT) 256 MB Card and This morning I overclocked it to:
Core 500 MHz from 300MHz probally will go hihger It seems to want to and
Memory Clock 557 MHz from 500 MHz wont go higher than this

Is this a good over clock or not, it there anything I can do to like unlock a GT version from this card of not, remember its a Pixelview 6600 256 MB Not a GT?

I don't believe you can unlock it. 6600 uses GDDR2, whereas 6600GT uses GDDR3, if I am not mistaken.

well in the Nvidia clock settings tab I was able to change the sliders

Oh yeah you can overclock it for sure, but you won't be able to flash the BIOS to a 6600GT BIOS.

I beleive it uses DDR I actually. This review could be wrong though.

I wasn't impressed with the plain vanilla 6600 card I got, so I traded it in for a bit more $$ for a 6600GT. in Direct-X 9 Real-Time rendering tests, my fps went from 25fps for the 6600 to over 45fps with the 6600GT.

are you stable at 500mhz on core? if so, thats pretty good for a plain 6600. Try bumping up the memory to mid-600 range. the one day i had the 6600, i overclocked it from its pathetic stock to 340mhz on core and 640mhz on memory, and it was very stable. In comparison, the 6600GT is stock 500mhz core, 1000mhz memory. (and I'm running it at 550/1050 at the moment)
