    I have a 2gigs, 256mb ddr, win xp, nvidia geforce mx420 pc.
    I am at the moment using Rivatuner to overclock it. I know that overclocking can burn out the video card but so far this hasn't happened to me. I am not using extra cooling or anything. As a matter of fact it is a Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo 600 series.

    Please check out the pic to see how far overclocked i have it.


    My highest benchmark is 5187.
    Is this good for my specs? Or have you got any tips on making this better without the use of buying new hardware?

    I am using 3dmark2001 SE Pro

    Hi,

    I would say: specially for graphics cards you have to worry to "burn them out" with overclocking.

    Normally you get pixel-faults or games won't start when you push them to far, and you can easily restore safe settings.

    About benchmarks: Why not have a look in the overclockers pages in the net. There are hundrets of them and sombeody will have your specs....

    regards

    jow

    Just as a matter of interest, what are the default clock speeds?

    Cause it looks like you have quite a good overclock there if my memory serves me right.
