I have an unknown cheapo brand FX5500 that someone gave me.

256meg version, and its got a nice round heatsink/fan on it. I figured it was free so I really didn't have anything to loose by OCing it.. and it was a rather nice step up from my mx400. I used rivatuner and got it to 308 mhz core and 402mhz memory with no artifacts. I also believe my max AGP bus speed is 2x.

Is this decent performance? I am sort of new to overclocking video cards..

Oh you might want system specs: Compaq deskpro EN series

1ghz P3
512mb PC100/133
200 watt psu (standard)
Creative Audigy 2zs
120gb Seagate barracuda hd

and um I cut a window in the left side of the case and painted the case blue (left the faceplate white though) but thats not hardware related, just thought I would show off a little lol.
