Just installed Powerstrip and was wondering how high can I push the memory clock on my G400Max---201 is standard.
If you push it to far, what happens and how do I restore it to original settings---Thanks for input!

most MAX users can hit the 166/222 mark. some can hit 172/130 mhz. you can't set the core and memory separatly.

you most likely won't get see any effects in windows. when u push it too far you will see visual artifacts or crashes in 3D applications. when u see this, exit the program (or if it crashes, just reboot) and open PowerStrip. then bring back the MAX's speed to where there wasn't any visual artifacts/crashing.

There is a "defualt" button near the slider for Overclocking. This will bring back your G400 to the factory set speeds, but remember to hit "apply" after clicking default or the settings won't take place.

Evildonnyboy,
Thanks! I see a big difference in how things snap up visually with my MSI K7T Pro2A and Powerstrip at 222/166---coming off a MSI BX motherboard,Plll-700 at 1008[7x144] and a video bus at 96 to the Pro2A with a bus of 105, Amd 1000 at 1260MHZ'S and video bus of 70---the only thing lacking was the way things snapped up in Windows and this was what was needed to compensate! Also,Games play just as well as before. Thanks again.
