I have a question for you....I'm looking to overclock my video card and maybe software mod it if I can. Not to sure where to begin though. Do you know anything about these procedures? The last thing I want to do i screw up my card, but I want it to process faster. Here's what I have:

AMD Athlon 64 processor 3000
K8T800 Motherboard
2GB RAM DDR 400 PC32000
SATA HDD 120GB
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB DDR
350 watt power supply

I'm not sure of the settings I can bump it to(clock rates). I dont want to fry my card or bring on any unstability caused by the overclocking or heating/cooling problems.

I just loaded ATI Tool and it is saying my core is currently 381.00 and my memory at 337.50 How High can I go?

I've heard of a program called Radlinker to tweak ATI cards. I also dont want any questionable changes made to my registry. What's the deal with flashing BIOS too? I'm somewhat clueless when it comes to overclocking and flashing etc. so any help would be cool.
