n00b Overclocking x1900 AIW

[Canai]

So I'm pretty new to this whole being able to OC the video card thing. Does the 10% rule apply to core voltages for the GPU? I'm using ATT to OC and have it running stable at 601/590 with a vcore of 1.25. I'm still using the stock cooler with the fan at 100%, and I have great airflow thru the case.

I guess my question is, has anyone else OC'ed their x1900 AIW, and if so, how high and with stock or aftermarket coolers? I'm going to be ordering some new HDD's soon so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to throw a vga cooler on the order.

EDIT: Ok I thought of another question I had... How different are the x1900 AIW and the x1900 xt/gt? In other words, can I do mods to my AIW that have been done to other x1900 cards, such as unlocking pipelines and modding bios?

x1900 aiw has all the pipes enabled
sue to voltage cotrol you don't even need to volt mod it.

hence no mods needed.
nice going on the core clock.

So I tried to get a little more out of the RAM last night and managed to increase it 5 MHz before hitting artifacts. This was at a two increment icnrease in voltage (at work and don't remember exact numbers). So I upped it another notch and ran into instant artifacts at the previously stable speed. So I dropped it down and it ran fine again. So did I reach the maximum overclock of the RAM or some other problem? I think the voltage is like 2.088 or something like that. VCORE is still at 2.5 and I managed to get it up to ~610 stable.
