Overclocking The GeForce FX 5700LE

So I'm in sad shape for a gamer, and have been for a while. Back in the day, I spent the cash and got an aweome graphics card: an nVidia Ti4600. I think I spent about $300 on it, and at the time, I could max out the settings on any game I had, and it cut through them like buddah. However, that was a long time ago. That card died, and my uncle sent me his old 6800GT, which was awesome, but eventaully died as well. I've been using a GeForce Fx 5700LE for a while now, and it does the job, but nothing fancy. I pull an aquamark score of about 13800.

So today, I looked at my options. I actually have enough computers with AGP slots that I can invest in another good AGP card, and it would get used enough to justify it, however, I don't have the cash to do that. I could put about $75 into a mid-range card, and use that, but then I'm at the point where I'm blowing money for results that aren't going to be much better than what I have. Lastly...I could overclock.

Guess what I picked.
Here are my results. They've been tested, and found reliable:
5.08%10.5%14.9%18.3%21.3%23.6%

Core(MHz)	Memory(MHz)	Aquamark3	Gain
250	400	13791	Default
250	450	14492
275	450	15237
300	450	15847
325	450	16311
350	450	16728
375	450	16728

3DMark 2003 also showed an increase, a 21.9% gain in score from the cards default config to the last overclock (2028 from 1663). I don't bother testing on the newer benchmarks (3DMark 2004, 2007) since neither my hardware, nor my games are exactly cutting-edge.

In conclusion, I spent about 2 hours, and improved my performance by about 22%. That should keep me happy, hopefully until the next round of iMac's come out, and I talk everyone into giving me one for graduation. 4 cores, and the high-end graphics, people. Chop-chop.

UPDATE: So after about 4 hours of being pushed, the driver bluescreened my system. I've dropped back down to 350/450.
