hi,
i have a geforce fx5200, which i ran the overclocking detection tool which put it on 323 for the core clock and 482 for the memory clock.
the thing is i tried a couple of games and they kinda "hiccup" but the 3d does run faster.
is there anyway of enjoying the speed without thses hiccups?
Try experimenting...back off a little & see if it still "hiccups". Try something like 300/450, 320,/460, etc. It's all trial & error.

yeah, i've learned/decided that the best way to overclock is over a VERY long period of time, for GPUs and CPUs. Because stress tests are good if you've just made a change (I use Prime95 for my CPU and 3Dmark03 on a loop for my GPU), and if the overclock passes that test, I'll leave it and just use the computer normally for a few weeks. That's the only true, field-work type test.
good luck!

5200 is a pretty low end card. even you OC it, i still think that it wont make much difference.

323/482!? Holy Jesus that's some massive OCing... you must have an igloo for a case to get it to run stable. If you're getting hiccups as you call them, back down by about 5 MHZ at a time and run your games for hours. If you get to a point where your comp's been going hot for awhile and you get no graphical issues, hold it at that speed. OCing takes a long time.
