It would be faster to just do it yourself (unless you plan on running it overnight). Just use the old method of clocking up 5 MHz until you get artifacts, then slowly go down to find your limit. The "find maximum clock" feature takes waaayy too long in my opinion.

But to answer your question, I would go with memory first.

It shouldn't matter at all. Just test each one separately making sure to leave the untested component at the stock values.

I used core first then memory but it shouldnt make any difference.

Look at what overclocks most people seem to be hitting with similar cards then set say the core to 5mhz below a low-end overclock then run Find Max Core. The worst part of ATI Tool is that it will only increase the Overclock during a non-heatup phase which means it can take 1 hour of running before it gets anywhere near the highest overclock.

My ATI Tool auto-overclock runs perfectly well on my 128mb Radeon 9800 Pro R350 core with Zalman VF700Cu.
