Default Overclocking X800

Im using ATITool 0.24 to overclock my X800, but im not quite sure what the best stable settings would be. (for the Core & Memory)

Heres a link to my card: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/X800_Series.html (the top one)

all cards are differant so all u can really do is raise them slowly and check for artifacts. for me its stable it u can run 5 loops of 3dmark05 arti free and play quake/doom/fear

5mhz is usually a good amount to rais it buy each time and then run a small artifact test (mabe the ati tool one) and then ever 30mhz or so do a full test with a couple of 05 runs

then when u have it at what it seems best at u should do a complete test

Do you raise both memory and core clock at the same rate together?

Raise them seperately, finding out what the maximum is for both. For instance, on my X700, I did this...

Went into my program. Stock settings were 400/500.
1. Creep up the core clock by 5-6mhz until I got an artifact. I top out at 489ish. Then I back it off to 475 for safety reasons.
2. Creep up the memory by 5-6mhz until I got instability. I top at at a meager 526. I backed it off to 518 for safety reasons.
