I am thinking of ordering one and wanted to know if this true. And if it is can you use software to clock then to retail levels and beyond?

The retail 64 meg VIVO is clocked at 183 and the majority of OEMs are at 166 although apparently there are some clocked at 144 at this point. They all overclock very nicely so a 166 will do 183 and higher with no problem. Great cards!

LOL @ StickHead. If you are talking about one of those cheap $100-$110 cards on Pricewatch, yes they are clocked lower. They are @ 148. You should have no problem getting it up to 166 or higher.
