    Right since im getting a new PC i figured i might as well overclock (heavily) my old GeForce2MX

    I thought for a while about the ram and how to keep it cool with little expense.

    Then it came to me, a big ISA fan card and ramsinks!
    Not just any ramsinks, ramsinks made out of pennies.
    (well 2cent coins actually).


    I just put them on with a small ammount of glue and put a CD Box in front of the fans, pointing towards the Ram.

    I was able to get up to:

    Graphics card #1
    Identity - NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400
    Memory clock - 232.93 MHz
    Engine clock - 195.10 MHz
    IRQ - 9, shared
    AGP revision - 2.00
    AGP transfer rates supported - 1x, 2x, 4x
    Current AGP transfer rate - 2x
    Sideband addressing - (n/a)
    Display driver - nvdisp.drv, v.4.13.01.3082
    DirectX driver - nvdd32.dll, v.4.13.01.3082
    Attached monitor - API9709 (Plug and Play Monitor)
    Monitor caps (1) - 1336x752, 47kHz, 85Hz


    Before the pennysinks, anything above 202 made the card crash regularly.
    Now ive been playin quake for about 40mins and no problems.

    I might put up pics later
