Anyone know how far you can push the core speed of the Geforce2Mx? This is a very cheap card yet with a few mods the core clocks up to the max using cool bits. I took the stock Duron cooler of the cpu when I upgraded to a Volcano2 HSF and replaced the small heat sink above the core chip on the video card plugged in the fan and went from 166 mhz to 250mhz easily. I know this does nothing for Q3 frame rates, for every 15 mhz jump I get 1 more FPS. My memory is stable at 190mhz.
I am curious because I read about the Kyro Ultra 2 being clocked at 250mhz core.

If you have good memory chips (fast 4-5ns) you can up the memory higher, that will give you more of a FPS gain. But I wouldn't raise the core much higher
