    an X600 XT.... you could overclock it until you start getting artifacts and a heat lock up. but other than that there is nothing magical to make it twice as fast. and if you do find the magical proggy tell me and ill make my 6800 GT a 7800 GTX ;D;D

    If you wanna overclock, id download rivatuner and try a 10% overclock at first and keep goin up until it starts artifacting (little lines on the screen) and then back it off some. its a slow process so dont rush it or you will only get moderate results.

    If you wanna cheat a little you could do a search for X600 XT and see if their are any reviews and normally they will overclock the card for benchmarkcomparison of the stock. and that will give you an indicator of the maximum stable OC. id start off a little below that and step it up because every card is different.

    There's a sale going on at the ATI store on refurb X800 Pro cards for around $200 in both AGP and PCI-e versions. Last Saturday I bought an AGP Sapphire X800XT-PE for $229.00 at ZZF. That vid card really kicks mucho butt too. :thumbsup: ZZF doesn't have them at that price any more though. If you look around you can find some good deals on the ATI cards, since the 7800GTX and GT cards have come out.

    Also the eVGA GeForce 6800 AGP card is well known for having a high success rate unlocking the extra pipelines and shader.

    The safer thing to do is just buy a decent card in the first place and not rely on overclocking to make a miracle difference, that way you won't be dissapointed and/or damage your card in the process.

    yup, get a good card like i did that is gonna kick some major butt, then push it to ultra levels or above just cause you can.

    6800 GT --> 6800 Ultra Price=$0
