yeah the nvidia software can let you change ur clock settings, but do it with caution...luckily the software also has a test button so u can check it before you set it so the chances of screwin it up are a lil less...my card came 450mhz core and 1320mhz for memory clock from factory i got it up to 495 core speed and 1400 for the memory...i need to get a better heatsink before i go much higher with it though, but as it is it runs about 64 degrees celsius under bout 4 hours of hard gaming.

i have yet to try it yet but i heard bout a program from the site below that you can unlock the pipelines easier and stuff

sweet... well im runnin 768mb of ram on a 2.2 ghz, that work?
Hopefully ill be replacing my 256mb stick with another 512 to make it a gig of ram

as for the temp goes i constantly check the nvidia temperature levels on the card and its consistantly 49-51degrees even when im playin a game, so shit seem good there

yeah the 512 stick of memory will prolly provide more boost for performance i would think, but thats just me. be careful if you decide to adjust the clock settings on your video card, and remember to always test them before just accepting them....if ya dont have good case airflow, i wouldnt really mess with it, as it creates heat kinda fast. i can rarely get my memory spped to go as high as i can get my core speed for the gpu though...i not sure why either lol...sacred any thoughts on that???

I thought I would post this this is the PC i built on a budget for myself. I am starting my own PC company this summer after I finish up my degrees I am getting one in computer applications and another in computer electronics interfacing and robotics controllers. This system was built for around 1200 bucks for the tower (at time of build).

PC specs:

Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.2GHz
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Hard Drive: 160 GB Total
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GS 256MB X2 SLI
Monitor: 19" gateway widescreen HD-Display FPD1975W
Sound Card: SB X-Fi Audio
Speakers/Headphones: Logitech x530 5.1
Keyboard: Ideazon USB Zboard Device

Mouse Surface: ALLSOP artist pad
Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.061219-0316)

I currently have 2 PCI-E 7600 GS 256 MB cards that are SLI ready for sale.

that looks real close to the puter that Gonna built for Otis for $1200 lol....and its pretty bulletproof...i love my 7900GS if my MB would support SLI i would prolly get another and do it, and then i would hafta get another PS since mine is only 400W lol, but even as it sits it runs anything on max settings w/o lag.

right now you can build a much better pc for that price (tower only). the opteron processor that i've had my eye on forever now just dropped 5 more bucks, so it's only 149 now. and that's a dual core opteron! that would be a great upgrade for you rath.

I am going to get the AMD 64x2 4600+. it is like a 160 or something right now. Think i will be building a new sys when I get that though. prolly put 2 8800 GTS 320MB vid cards in that and run SLIX16 MoBo. 800 hundred dollar upgrade but well worth it lol. Prolly a little more then 800 who knows cross that bridge when I get there. I want to get my backyard done with new patio and all that, already installed my outdoor speakers and what not.
