For the time being, im just having to live with an OEM 5200 as my video card.... needless to say it is pretty crappy. Now I am wondering if it worth trying to OC it. My case has excellent cooling & airflow, but the card itself only has a HS and no fan.... I do however have a spare AMD Athlon XP OEM heatsink + fan at my disposal. So I have a few questions:

1) Would I see any noticable difference if I OC'ed this card? Is it worth it?
2) Would attaching the AMD heatsink help me OC the card?
3) If 2 is yes, how would I go about attaching it?

Thanks for your help.
