Overclocking a 6600gt

[Chaoticknight16]

this is the card i just bought: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127150 It's a 6600gt

So where do I start. If you guys could walk me through this I'd be so grateful.
Thanks!!!

Hey - I've been reading in another thread (nice to see a baord where folks know what they are talking about!) about overclocking the DELL 6800 GTo's....

Do you basically turn it into a regular GT, or into an ultra? What are the differences, the potnetials? Are people pretty lucky with it, and is there a thread I should check?

I'm curious what my odds might be of turning one into something useful... Thanks!

To the original question:

I have the same card.

Down load the coolbits registry file (search Google fo it). This will enable the overclocking tab in teh Nvidia driver. Don;t expect much to overclock the 6600GT very much - You'll probably be able to get the core at 550 MHz, and the memory to 1050 Mhz, like mine. I get artifats if I put the memory at 1100Mhz, or the core at 575 Mhz.
