Dualcore? Obviously, it's impossible to get dualcore results since they can take alot more applications. And I heard that 3,6 should be easy.

+ It's easy to overclock XP processors. The multipliers are unlockable. I have a 728 Mhz increase on my processor. :twisted:

I heard that you can only overclock an XP if the CPU was created before April 12th 2004 or something? (I bought mine off eBay...)

With a BIOS update, it memory speed is increased to 1200 MHz ...

I got mine for $205 Canadian (About $175 USD), but it would've cost more to get it from the US, so I just got it locally ...

you have got to be kidding me....... a bios update wont do crap to your 6600gt lol!

6600gt is a pos it has 128bit bandwidth, yet mine has 256bit bandwidth.

a bios would fix the 6800,6800LE,or 6800gt if your lucky... if your able to unlock your card via rivatuner then u can update your bios ...but why would you? just mod your bios with extravolts at the Ce38 addy in the bios... but i bet you dnot know what im talking about.... well i got to go sell pc's.. bye. :roll:

Nobody cares about your superiority complex ... FYI

And, um, yeah, that's stock speed ... I know 6600GTs can overclock higher ...

How did you "school" me, exactly ?

Card is shipped with an 1120 MHz memory clock speed. With a BIOS update, it bumps the DEFAULT memory speed up to 1200 MHz ... Does that make sense ? I never said anything about overclocking it ...

omg... is money growing on your back? not everybody can just go into a store and buy a new card, and btw the 9600xt is still reasonably good. I've got a 9600 non-pro with 256MB @ 400/200 and I'm able to play MW at 1024x768 so a overclocked 9600xt should be capable of 1280x960 easily! For overclocking I'd recommend the Omega Drivers which are modded to allow overclocking. In this driver package the Ati Tray tools are also included, where you can find a overcloking tool.
