Ok guyz, I know my v-card is not that great(Inno3D Tornado Geforce FX 5500 256mb/128bit AGP4x/8x..currently running at 8x) running at core 270mhz and memory 400mhz. Inspite of that, i want to overclock it to the maximum but in stable condition. it has a stock heatsink with fan. but if i get all the answers here il shift to a branded HSF. 1.) first thing..how much mhz will i add up to my core?(270mhz) 2.)second, how much mhz will i add up to my memory frequency?(400) 3.)I currently using a forceware 77.72 driver 4.)What overclocking tool will i use? Thanks! AsRock P4I45Gv Intel Chipsets Celeron D 2.40 Ghz DDR333 512mb ram 40GB HDD Western Digital Geforce FX 256MB/128bit

Use coolbits to oc. frequency's?you will have to find out what your card will do. coolbits Tt Lanfire MSI K8N Diamond AMD64 3000+'Venice' 1gb pc4400 OCZ Powerstream 520w 6600GT WDCaviar 160gb sata WDCaviar 160gb sata ;~}

it can't be said, it depends on how stable your PSU, and other stuff. maybe 330-350 Mhz good for core. for your memory speed, check your GFX memory latency. if you can reach 300 mhz, that's good. update to the latest driver. use rivaTuner. if i recall, FX 5500 doesn't make too much heat, so stock HSF is enough.

how can i check my GFX memeory latency? AsRock P4I45Gv Intel Chipsets Celeron D 2.40 Ghz DDR333 512mb ram 40GB HDD Western Digital Geforce FX 256MB/128bit

If you use coolbits, don't use the "detect optimal settings" and do NOT enable "apply these settings at startup" until you use those clock settings for a while (a week or 2) without any crashes and also use some graphics card benchmarks to test stability. Only after you know it is 100% stable should you enable "apply settings on startup". For safety reasons, I only enable my OC settings before I play a game. This is usually safest. Also, RivaTuner is a good program for overclocking and it has a good number of other options to see a lot of your specs of your card.
