I know ATI artificially "removes" overclocking capability in certain video chipsets that they don't consider top-of-the-line. Perhaps they made some similar decision for the 2900 Pro?
Two things you could do: edit the INF file and reinstall the drivers so your card is seen as a 2900XT, or use an alternative overclocking tool. Since you're using crossfire, you'll need to make sure your chosen tool can overclock both cards (until updated, several tools would only overclock the first card in a CF pair)

I don't know about the 2900 Pro, but with the 2900XT if you don't have a 8-pin power cable plugged in, then Overdrive will be disabled. I use two 6-pin cables and can't access Overdrive. No problem, I just use ATItool instead.

Take a look at this and tell me if the 2900Pro qualifies as a "top line vid card"?

Looks like I'm gonna need to load up an XP operating system to compete, otherwise you're gonna kill my 3DMark score

Just short the two unused pins to enable overdrive. Problem solved.
