Geforce2 MX overclocking... All card similar?

Hi,

I'm either going to get a LeadTek or Prolink PixelView Geforce2 MX AGP card (ASUS too expensive).

I was wondering if certain cards overclock better than others, or are they all fairly similar?

Also, I was reading some MX roundup at Tom's Hardware which said that the LeadTek S-Video out was crap. Anyone disagree with this?

Thanks

If you want an overclocker then don't get the leadtek. Well. maybe that isn't fair. They might have changed the vid memory to some more overclockable chips since I got mine. I am able to get a better overclock now that I upped the I/O voltage. Prior to that any overclock yielded "snow". I can not get anywhere near the 200/210 overclock like the Hercules card and others. Realistically though, the 180 mhz memory overclock yielded very little increase in performance. Is a more expensive card that overclocks better going to be a much better performer? I doubt it. I don't think it is worth the extra $$$. I am a little disappointed with the TV out. The quality is not as good as my ATI card was but it is good for the price. I paid over $100 more for the ATI card. I wish ATI would go dual head like the Matrox. A dual head Radeon would rock.

Hmmm, and the LeadTek has a heatsink already on it. I presumed it must have been meant for overclocking.
