I got a Radeon 7500! Help me O/C it! >:*)

Finally after waiting a week I got my ATI Radeon 7500 64DDR!! It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much faster than my SiS315. And AGP 4x is FAST! I've already installed Rage 3D tweak program and am runnning at stock speeds. 290mhz core clock is way faster than 166mhz.

Hi, this is my first post on AT. I just ordered myself a Radeon 7500LE DDR (made by Saphire) from newegg.com. It occured to me later that I might have been better off with the Radeon 7500 DDR. Can anyone explain the difference between these two? I know the GPU is supposed to be different, but the card feature sets appear to be the same. The picture on newegg shows no fan on the LE version, but pictures on ATI's site show a fan. I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever I get, but lingering doubts about jumping too soon. I noticed a similar item for $3 more that had the 7500. What is LE, light edition?

7500LE uses the exact same GPU as 7500. You typically get a slightly lower clocked core, and a slower RAM configuration. There were lots of variations of that principle from all the 3rd party card manufacturers, plenty of them being fanless. I got one too, and deliberately chose a fanless LE over the full speed version.

What is the furthest you can O/C this puppy with the stock cooling on? And how do you remove the stock HSF and put on a nicer one?
