So here's the story...

I downloaded power strip (ATi Tool just wouldn't work for me)

I upped the memory and core speeds by 2 MHz

Then, I get artifacts and I'm forced to restart

I know you guys get this stuff a lot, but I didn't find any other cases like mine.

Do X1950's just not overclock well or what?

I know I'm not overheating... Temp's stay at around 45 C idle and about 50-60 C when in a 3D enironment.

Any help is much appreciated :]

a x1950 over clock?
i don't see the point...to be honest i don't see the point of overclocking at all...but that's just me

O/Cing depends on the brand of video card too...alot of vendors restrict the ability...especially the cheaper brands.

Well if I could do like a 10% o/c then I wouldn't have to get more RAM, so I just wanted a cheaper way to speed up things in BF2 :]

that is incredibly strange, artifacts after 2mhz?? it could just not be OCing properly, try reinstalling the drivers and then reinstall atitool and try it again, it stop working for me once too
