I just got my 6800OC tonight and I decided to unlock the pipelines.. these are what I got for results with everything set to default at 1024x768. Should I keep my pipes unlocked?

Am I CPU bound at these low resolutions so I don't see the increase from unlocking my pipelines and vertex shaders? My info is in my sig, only difference is CPU is at 2.4gHz.
 
You could be easily bottlenecked by your CPU. As long as you are running stable and getting no artifacts I see no reason to revert back to 15 1.

If something goes wrong then I would suggest reverting
 
yeah, if you can get them unlock with no artifacts or other ill effects, gratz, there is no reason to lock them back up.
 
512 mb ram is too little.

that's the biggest bottle neck you have. (not cpu/card)

Upgrade to 1gigabyte dual channel (try going for 2x512 though), and IT 'll make a BIG difference, believe me...
