Well my Geforce 2 MX 100/200 is really starting to show its age. With its normal settings it only hit 1388 on low. Now with a little overclocking I got to 1577 from going to 170 to 220 one my video card (I originally went to 250 and my computer went haywire and I had to reset it). So should I go like an extra 10 or so (every 10 increase benchmark about by 50 or something), stay where I'm at, or don't overclock its to dangerous. Because the worse I see could happen is my video card fries and it was worthless anyway so I buy a Geforce 4 Ti for $80 bucks (or I hope thats all can happen).

Actually, the worse that can happen is that you fry your motherboard or parts of it. I fried my AGP port on my board once but the card was fine. You're better off buying a new card instead of risking damage and instability. If you are insistant on overclocking, anyone will agree that proper cooling is essential. -
Well how would I know that I have proper cooling???Comment

Make sure you have alot of case fans, also make sure your room is not an oven. Buy an after market cooling HSF. and use Themal Epoxy to keep it on because im sure yours has improper mounting bracketsOriginally posted by SeeD Soldier

But on a geforce 2 the most you could get a 10% increase.....and thats not even that much, go buy the 9600pro. Or sell your soul and get your TI4.....Comment

the 64mb ti 4200 is dirt cheap now, and it's good enough for playing ffxi. while it's no where near as good as the 9600pro, it is half the price.Originally posted by aerobahn
